Description:

The Proponent intends to redevelop an existing 10.6-acre Project Site with a mixed-use, transit-oriented development consisting of residential, office, restaurant, fitness and retail uses, including a flagship grocery store, and a new one-acre public open space.

The Proposed Project has been refined significantly since the PNF filing in January 2018 based on feedback from abutters, elected officials, the BPDA, the Boston Civic Design Commission (BCDC), various state and city agencies, and the Impact Advisory Group (IAG). Key items that were addressed through the redesign included: reduced building density and height; explored a greater variety in building height for a more interesting skyline; reduced housing density and re-evaluated office space given the growing demand in the area; increased the size of public open space and landscaped area; and improved connections to the Boston Landing MBTA commuter rail station.
