Congress Square “jewel box” office addition glassed in

The seven-story “jewel box” addition atop the office component of Congress Square, a mixed-use development overlooking Post Office Square, is now glassed in with a floor-to-ceiling, high-performance glass curtain wall facade. With the addition sealed, the construction team will now turn towards fitting its’ interior out with electrical and HVAC utilities in order to prepare for construction of tenant office space, as well as constructing the addition’s exterior green roof deck.

Congress Square’s 16-story, 284,600-square-foot office component will be anchored by the 200,000-square-foot joint headquarters of advertising agencies DigitasLBi and Publicis.Sapient. Additionally, a 165-key Hyatt Centric boutique hotel is being constructed on site, and 35 condominium residences are approved for construction. 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 the 458,300-square-foot development’s center. The following is a photograph of the glassed-in office addition:
