Thread for the new under construction 500ksf spec office development located behind the also under-construction Parcel J/K. Pile driving is already happening, and civil work for the road network seems to be starting.
Most recent special permit application

What's with the high and inconsistent piles? Coming back later to drive them in further?

They have been driven as far as they can go (driven to refusal as the jargon goes). They will be cut to the level of the cap prior to putting the cap on.

Worry not.

Re: Cambridge Crossing | Parcel EF | Office

A few new filings here:

On this project, it's hard to tell what we've seen before since things are filed in three communities. That said, here are the latest drawings for EF:

This does have an address now, so the title of the thread should be:

The updated renders look like it's definitely changed to fulfill lab space needs.

I'm floored by the volume of lab office/research square footage that's been built in the region. Do we know what share of Cambridge/Boston/Somerville's commercial real estate is lab facility? How it ranks nationally?

After years of delays, J/K, E/F, G and H all u/c simultaneously. Wonder if we'll see movement on any residential parcels.

The area is #1 in lab space. https://www.genengnews.com/a-lists/top-10-u-s-biopharma-clusters-6/
Boston/Cambridge ranks number-one in NIH funding (4,735 awards totaling $2.457 billion), VC funding ($6.162 billion in 156 deals), and lab space (26.8 million square feet).
