Mixed Use (40B Fmr Star Market) | 299 Broadway | Winter Hill | Somerville

What are the boxes for?
I doubt they're meant for this site, since they've not even broken ground yet, but those are bits of a modular building. Probably just making use of an empty parking lot to stage before being stacked. (Any buildings around here suddenly appear?)

 
The rebuild of the public housing on Alewife Brook is using modular construction, but they’re using LabNine as the manufacturer.
 

Housing project replacing Broadway Star Market starts work in spring despite parking misgivings​

“The redevelopment of a long-closed Star Market in Somerville’s Winter Hill neighborhood is progressing toward a planned construction start in the spring.

The project at 299 Broadway St. entails two new mixed-use buildings of 316 apartments, 40 percent of which will be affordable, as well as retail space and a public plaza and park.

Developers abandoned plans for an underground parking lot due to asbestos buried deep in the parking lot, which city councillor Jake Wilson said came from curtains from an old movie theater on that site.

As a result, apart from building short-term parking spots for the liquor store next door, 299 Broadway will not include on-site parking and instead will offer parking permits to half of the market-rate units at a rate above the typical $40-per-year residential parking permit……..”
