Last week The Boston Globe wrote (once again) about a huge mixed use project in Government Center that would add to Boston’s skyline and significantly change the make up of the Government Center / West End neighborhoods.  The project proposed  by HYM Investment Group (shown above) would replace the existing Government Center parking garage (shown below) with two towers; a 45-story apartment tower and a 43-story office tower. The two towers are part of a larger, 2.4-million-square-foot development that was first proposed back in 2011 but is finally expected to start next year.

According to The Globe, the new apartment tower will feature a mix of studios and one-, two- and three-bedroom units and will offer a lineup of amenities including a swimming pool, sun deck, yoga studio and gym on the 9th floor, while the 31st floor “will offer leisure spaces for residents with a multi-purpose room, library, and roof deck.”  According to the BRA website, the project will include 800+ residential units, a 196-room hotel, 82,500 square feet of retail space, while preserving the nearly 1,200 parking spaces from the garage.
