Congress Square Update 11/03/17

Congress Square office component tops off


A topping-off ceremony was held today for the seven-story steel jewel box addition atop Congress Square’s office component, which will be anchored by the joint headquarters of advertising agencies DigitasLBi and Publicis.Sapient. Overlooking Post Office Square and Downtown Boston, the addition will contain office space as well as amenities including an exterior green roof deck. The resulting office structure, developed by Related Beal, will feature 284,600 square feet of space, including the two advertising agencies’ 200,000-square-foot headquarters.


Congress Square’s hotel component is also well underway, with vertical concrete construction beginning on the 13-story addition alongside the existing building at 68 Devonshire Street. The resulting 85,700-square-foot Hyatt Centric boutique hotel, developed by Magna Hospitality Group, will feature 165 keys, in addition to ground-floor retail/restaurant space.


In total, Congress Square will feature 458,300 square feet of space. Owner Thibeault Development has listed the development’s approved residential component, located at 13-21 Congress Street, for sale. The existing buildings, which are vacant and in shell condition, are fully permitted for conversion to 35 condominium residences with ground-floor retail, including vertical expansion by 7,000 square feet to 61,450 total square feet. A total of 36,650 square feet of retail space will be constructed at Congress Square along Quaker Lane, a pedestrian-friendly arcade that will be located at Congress Square’s center. The office building and hotel, both of which will contain ground-floor retail, are slated for completion in the second quarter of 2018.
