31-story mixed-use tower proposed in Chinatown


Millennium Partners, Asian Community Development Corporation (CDC), Corcoran Jennison Companies and Tufts Shared Services propose to construct a 31-story, $174 million tower at 286-290 Tremont Street in Chinatown, replacing a City-owned surface parking lot. The tower would contain 171 affordable apartment and condominium residences, a 140-room expansion of the adjacent Doubletree Hotel, a 264-space expansion of the adjacent Tufts Shared Services parking garage and 8,000 square feet of ground-floor community space. The four proponents were the only respondents to a City request for proposals (RFP) to develop the parcel.


Residences would include 45 apartments and 126 condominiums, and would represent Millennium’s affordable housing contribution for the upcoming 115 Winthrop Square tower. Corcoran Jennison owns the adjacent hotel, and Tufts owns the adjacent parking garage. Asian CDC recently completed the 21-story One Greenway mixed-income housing tower in partnership with New Boston Fund.


The proposed tower’s ground floor could contain a new Chinatown branch for the Boston Public Library. New outdoor public space would be constructed at the tower’s ground floor as well. The City of Boston is now reviewing the proponents’ proposal which, if officially selected, would require additional design review. The proponents hope to begin construction of the tower in December 2018, with completion expected in December 2020.
