It boasts four office towers, approximately 4,050 parking spaces, and a shopping and dining destination that is an important part of Boston’s skyline, as well as a source of hometown pride.
When the center was purchased by BXP in 1998, it sparked a vision for the city inspired by the intersection of innovation and history. It would transform premier real estate into a destination. BXP's leadership set out to create an extraordinary team of internal and external professionals who could understand and execute the permitting and development plan needed to maximize investment and ultimately realize a vision for the city.

American Campus Communities: Collaborating to Benefit Students and Communities
The City of Boston launched an update to its comprehensive housing plan – “Housing A Changing City: Boston 2030” – designed to address housing needs at a time when Boston’s population was growing faster than expected. The update set new goals for housing production, including the goal of improving the quality and quantity of student housing for college students to free up conventional housing units for the local community.
The City asked local colleges and universities to join the initiative and provide additional on-campus student housing. Our client, a major research university, didn't hesitate to answer the City's call.
