Just dawned on me, but it looks like Cambridge is set to add 3 300'+ buildings over the next few years! Compare this to the current total of....1? 0? 2? This doesn't even include the 2nd MXD 395' tower, or any of the Volpe complex. I believe all 3 are in prep phase.

I searched for all years, Cambridge only on the faa site and sorted by height. This is going to be a pretty serious visual upgrade for Kendall!

One Broadway (MIT) 300'

All 3 links listed 300' structure height on the dot. Here's one.

I believe the site is going to be the right side of this shot, sourced from here:

This is the shorter MXD Tower by Boston Properties. See more here:

MIT Building at 264-292 Main Street. Height 334' (or 381', or 382'?)

This one has radically different heights at different corners. I have no idea where or what the high point is. Here's the total list, shortest to tallest.

NW Corner 313'
https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external...28902657&row=6

NE Corner 314'
https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external...28902684&row=5

SW Corner 334'
https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external...8902656&row=19

"High Point" 381'
https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external...8902687&row=13

Filing a couple months earlier for 382'
https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external...3543956&row=12

I believe it would be the 381' over the 382', but the only question is what actually comprises this height. So it's either 381' or 334'.

It's this thing. See this thread.

Wow. Prepare yourselves for the next evolution of Kendall Square.
