Earlier this week Curbed Boston reported that the city and state are working together to turn a 5.5 acre site owned by the state at 185 Kneeland Street (sandwiched between South Station, Chinatown and the Expressway) into a “mega-development” (those were Curbed Boston’s words – not mine).
The state plans to host public-input sessions on any would-be development beginning in early March and a request for proposals could go out after that. According to the article, state officials are asking developers to think big – really big, suggesting the site accommodate 2,000,000 square feet with a sizable chunk of that dedicated to housing (hopefully affordable housing).
This could be a great opportunity for the city to add housing and build out a section of land that can bring taxable revenue to the state and city. I’ll be curious to see how this monster development opportunity progresses.
