Bulfinch Crossing (also known as the Government Center Garage Redevelopment) is a redevelopment project currently under-construction in Downtown Boston. It will consist of two skyscrapers, a smaller residential tower, a low-rise office building, a hotel, and a low-rise retail building. Site preparation began in late 2015, and construction officially commenced on January 24, 2017. Construction is planned to last until 2020.
The primary building of the development is the 43-story office tower, which will feature a three-story lobby and high-end amenities. The first four floors of the building will contain the lobby and a restaurant, with each floor containing 23,200 square feet. Floors five through ten will contain offices and parking, and each floor will contain 8,800 square feet. The remaining floors will contain offices, and each floor will contain 27,500 square feet. The building is planned to earn a gold level of certification through the US Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification program.
Some preliminary construction on the building is underway, but no major construction will begin until an anchor tenant is found.
The building will contain a fitness center, basketball court, rooftop garden, and several conference rooms. On-site parking is also avaliable.
The second largest building in the development is the larger residential tower (sometimes called Residential Tower I by the developer), which is planned to be at least 480 ft (150 m) tall.
The tower was originally planned to consist of 486 apartments, but will now instead contain only 368 apartments and 55 condos. This change was announced in July 2017 when the developer decided to convert 118 apartments into 55 condos due to a slowing demand for luxury housing in Boston.
