Plans for Bulfinch Crossing also include one high-rise residential building, one mid-rise and three other mid-rise buildings surrounding a one-acre public plaza. These other three buildings will be an office building, retail space and a condo-hotel hybrid.

In total the development will consist of, 812 residential units, 196 hotel rooms, over 1 million square feet of office space and 85,000 square feet of retail space. There will also be parking spaces included and a one-acre rooftop space.

The plans include Boston’s tallest apartment tower that will hold 486 residential units. If all goes to plan the project hopes to break ground before the end of the year.

The new development will create a dynamic and exciting space within the city.
