Planning Board Grants Extension for Boston Properties Development Case Until December 2025

The Cambridge Planning Board has officially approved an extension for a major amendment application concerning the Infill Development Concept Plan (IDCP) until December 31, 2025. This decision, made during the board's meeting on August 19, 2025, allows the applicant, Boston Properties Limited Partnership, additional time to address feedback received from previous discussions.

The board's unanimous vote, which included all six members present, reflects a commitment to thorough review and community engagement in the planning process. The extension is crucial as it provides the applicant with the opportunity to refine their proposal, which involves modifications to land use within the mixed-use development zone.

In addition to this significant decision, the meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, marking the end of the session and signaling a break for the board until September. The Planning Board expressed gratitude to the proponents for their contributions and looks forward to future developments.

As the board prepares for its next session, stakeholders and community members are encouraged to stay informed about upcoming public hearings and potential business items that may arise before the next meeting. This proactive approach ensures that the planning process remains transparent and inclusive for all involved.
