Constellation Center is dead. Long live something else!
Here are the renders. Kenmore Center Phase II made love to MIT Building 5.
That's a little more arts component than I was expecting. Also, no new parking with this building (though the developer's master planned site has garages, but to be fair to them, they built those before they bought this site).

Gas transfer station is removed in proposal for 250-foot lab tower with public arts space - Cambridge Day
While Cambridge will never get its long-promised Constellation Center, what could go in its place – a 250-foot, three-tiered lab tower with 40,000 square feet of public arts and culture space at its base – offers something new: removal of a gas transfer station from the showpiece Third Street.

The centerpiece is a 300-seat theater, its stage exposed in a jewel box platform floating in a three-story atrium. While the size will be perfect for uses such as the North Cambridge Family Opera (a secondary theater space seating around 150 is also proposed) and rehearsal spaces will accommodate dancers and others being displaced from Central Square, whether there will be long-term residencies for arts companies is “TBD,” BioMed officials say. Rental prices are, like the building, intended to be tiered to ensure affordability.
