Steel vertical addition rising at Congress Square office building in Post Office Square
The first two floors of the seven-story steel jewel box addition atop Congress Square’s future office building have been erected, with construction of the building’s concrete elevator core complete. In addition to office space, the addition will contain amenities including an exterior green roof deck overlooking Post Office Square and Downtown Boston. Congress Square’s 284,600-square-foot office component, developed by Related Beal, will be anchored by the 200,000-square-foot joint headquarters of advertising agencies DigitasLBi and Publicis.Sapient, with additional office space and ground-floor retail space now leasing.
In total, Congress Square will feature 458,300 square feet of space, including a 85,700 square foot Hyatt Centric boutique hotel, whose foundation is now under construction, developed by Magna Hospitality Group and 51,350 square feet of residential space developed by Thibeault Development. 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 Congress Square’s center.
