South Station Air Rights work could start early 2017

The South Station Air Rights project page on developer Hines' website has been updated with new details, including an anticipated construction commencement date of early 2017. A commencement date was not listed on Hines’ previous website, which was live as recently as last month. The previous website claimed that "market demand will dictate the timing of construction commencement" for the project.

The South Station Air Rights project description on Hines' website has changed as follows:

• 49-story office tower square footage has decreased from 980,000 square feet to 970,000
  
• In addition to 155 residential condominium units, 200 hotel rooms are now planned for the residential building
  
• Square footage of a second office building has increased from 500,000 square feet to 520,000 square feet
  
• Planned parking spaces have increased from 713 to 755

The new details are in line with a project amendment approved by the Boston Redevelopment Authority in June 2014. With the amendment's approval, the project's land disposition agreement was extended through June 30th, 2016.

Hines' new website has been live since late February 2016. A higher resolution project architectural rendering, posted above, was also posted on Hines' new website as part of the update. The following is a link to an archive of the South Station Air Rights page on Hines' previous website. Additional information about the South Station Air Rights project is posted below.
