Dock Square Garage buyer proposes 195-unit residential addition
Fortis Property Group, who acquired the six-story, 698-space Dock Square Garage in Downtown Boston for $170 million in September 2017, proposes to construct an “upward-spiraling” addition above the garage containing 195 residential units. Fortis has not yet disclosed whether units would be apartments or condominiums; 25 units would be designated affordable. The spiral-shaped addition would be nine stories high, increasing the garage’s height to 194 feet. As part of the project, the existing garage would be re-cladded. Renderings of the proposed addition have not yet been revealed; with the addition, the garage’s total parking capacity would be reduced to 538 spaces. The garage also contains 16,100 square feet of ground-floor retail home to Hard Rock Cafe. Fortis has filed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with the Boston Planning & Development Agency (BPDA) formally proposing the project and will reveal additional plans in the coming months.
