Belvidere Street Student Housing

To support local student housing needs, the Proponent is seeking to convert approximately 428 sleeping rooms within the existing approximately 250,000-square foot South Tower of the Sheraton Boston Hotel located at 39 Dalton Street in the Back Bay neighborhood into a dormitory, housing approximately 856 students. The Proposed Project also includes repurposing the existing hotel ground floor retail area (approximately 6,000-square foot hair/nail salon accessible to both hotel guests and non-guests) and third-floor hotel area to create approximately 18,000 square feet of dedicated student amenities, including uses such as a student lounge, café/dining, quiet study area, laundry room, and/or fitness center. The Proposed Project also includes a new main building entry dedicated to students, including maintaining the existing publicly-accessible outdoor plaza as-is with cosmetic upgrades, such as new seating, lighting, and/or signage.
