Congress Square residential component offered for sale

Thibeault Development, owner of the approved residential component of the 458,300-square-foot Congress Square mixed-use development in Post Office Square, has listed the existing buildings approved for residential conversion for sale through Colliers International. Thibeault Development acquired the two existing buildings at 13-21 Congress Street, which are currently vacant and in shell condition and total 54,450 square feet, for $14.55 million in August 2016. The buildings 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. Colliers’ listing touts the buildings’ potential for office use in addition to residential.

Upon completion as approved, Congress Square will feature 458,300 square feet of space, including a 284,600-square-foot office building developed by Related Beal that will be anchored by the 200,000-square-foot joint headquarters of advertising agencies DigitasLBi and Publicis.Sapient, a 165-key, 85,700-square-foot Hyatt Centric boutique hotel developed by Magna Hospitality Group, 51,350 square feet of residential space containing 35 condominiums and 36,650 total square feet of retail space. Retail will be oriented about 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. Congress Square was originally proposed by Related Beal, who acquired the property in 2013. Following the project’s approval in 2015, Related Beal sold the hotel component to Magna and the residential component to Thibeault.
