From the last couple weeks. Even thinking back to two years I never would've imagined Lexington would become a veritable hotbed of construction activity. Yadda yadda not on my bingo card...

17 Hartwell, with 312 units, is moving fast with loads of contractors working seven days a week. Here it is on 4/14

Not long for this world, here's the Lexington Tennis Club on 4/18 where another 150 units were just proposed

The Lex yesterday

And the small medical office building at Clarke and Raymond that's proposed to be torn down for another 49 units

The building gets no comment, but the tree canopy on this street is rather nice

Lastly, right next to 17 Hartwell is no. 7 where demo fencing has just gone up. Another 130 units are proposed, which will altogether create 442 units of rentals within view here

Annnnd the fomer property at 7 Hartwell is now gone. These show it on Monday when 50% had already been demolished

Also 17 Hartwell humming along per usual

Lastly, 231 Mass Ave will be going vertical very soon

I am amused that there appear to be desks inside 7 Hartwell.
