A
Boston-based development firm has proposed building a 30-story
mixed-use tower in Downtown Crossing, according to the Boston
Business Journal.
The proposed project is for a 305-foot high tower with 94
residential units on the top 26 floors of the 3,648 square foot
parcel at 533 Washington Street. With a modern glass and zinc tower
on the 26 stories above the base, the architect and design will
retain the existing four-story faade which will include restaurant
and collaborate workspace uses.
A file documented with the Boston Redevelopment Authority
stated, The project concept is for a tall, slender tower, featuring
excellent interior light and sight lines, which will capitalize on
and enhance the resurgence of the Downtown Crossing. The
residential population of this area is now beginning to achieve a
critical mass, and the project will contribute significantly to the
emergence of a true, mixed-use downtown neighborhood.
Located at the former site of Felt, between the Boston Opera
House and Suffolks Modern Theatre, this new development would be
just minutes from the site of Millennium Tower, a luxury
condominium development currently under construction.
