Renovation of Downtown’s One Post Office Square to include a redesign of the street-level lobby, drive-thru, retail, drop-off areas and more

Work: 190,000 square feet of new office space, 16,000 square feet of new retail
Connect: 32,000 square  feet of amenities
Size: 207,000 square feet

The approval of Downtown’s One Post Office Square renovation will upgrade the 41-story, 515-foot tall office tower and a six-story garage with eight levels of parking and 371 spaces. This fourth amendment to the project will include improvements to the existing office building, exterior façade replacement, recladding of upper levels and the addition of mid-level and roof amenities. Additionally, renovation proposes the demolition of the existing parking garage containing 371 parking spaces and a 15-story addition to the existing office building above the garage. The decrease in parking will result in 300 parking spaces. However, these changes will result in an additional 207,000 square feet on the project site. The proposed project also includes the redesign of the street-level lobby, drive-thru, retail, and drop-off areas, as well as upgrades to the elevator and the building’s mechanical and electrical systems. These updates will take place in a single phase with multiple stages of construction.

The approved proposal for the renovation of One Post Office Square will also provide a number of public benefits to the immediate Downtown neighborhood, including 700 construction-related jobs, energy-efficient and environmentally friendly buildings that will be LEED certifiable, activation of the street level environment, and more. In addition, $50,000 has been committed toward capital improvements at Martin’s Park located at the Smith Family Waterfront in Fort Point Channel, adjacent to the Children’s Museum.
