The architecture is pretty bleh, although that's very preliminary. In a way it feels like a shame because this was a very prestigious location for the longest time :'(. But at least this is being turned into something. I think considering what they have to work with - financially and physically - it's okay. Better than letting it stay an empty plot of land for another decade.
When the developer or City of Cambridge releases the info on this, I guess we'll just have to see what the wider public thinks. Given that it's not planned to be a pair of very high towers, hopefully they won't go full NIMBY and stall it, allowing it to finally add something new and useful to this area of the region.
I can at least say that online comments with the Record and Cambridge Times are not too pleased about it. If it doesn't have parking, then surely it can't be housing!
If it does have parking, won't someone think of the traffic!
