Thanks for the info. I presumed they were just dragging their heels to coincide with the t station opening.This picture shows 105/107 (the building going up) and 103 (the dirt in the foreground) Washington street.
105/107 replaced an old residential 3 story (not a triple decker, maybe a philly style?) and 103 replaced a car mechanics. Both are becoming X-over-1 mixed use.
The steel took months - they had a team of like 3 people and a hand-cranked crane that lifted the beams (looked like something home-made out of an engine jack), and only did 1 beam a day on average.
103 is trapped in limbo where the city won't let them put the electrical transformer in front of the building, but eversource won't let them put it behind the building. They are currently planning on using one set of transformers to provide power to both lots, but that's caused a lot of backroom wrangling (The 103 developers actually purchased the 105 development in the process).

Contextual infill to replace the Subway in Union Square:
Who knows I’m too stoned........ HA!Looks pretty nice. If I am not mistaken, one of the first recreational marijuana dispensaries (Other two licences are in Winter Hill and Davis) is a part of this development. Correct me if I am wrong.
Yes this would have the pot shop. Other locations are the vacated storefronts by Tenoch in Davis Square and in some Center Street storefronts in the old Italian wedding hall building in Spring Hill that now has ONCE/Cuisine en Locale.Who knows I’m too stoned........ HA!
Ok ,nice, ThanksIs this where "The Clubhouse" sports/art popup was in the abandoned mechanic's garage? Must have just been knocked down in the last day or two. If so that's 471 Somerville Ave. 5 units of housing.
