Last month the development team for the Back Bay/South End Gateway project shared their revised plans to transform the MBTA Back Bay station, the neighboring 100 Clarendon St. parking garage, as well as the entire block bound by Dartmouth, Stuart, Clarendon streets and Columbus Avenue, which also includes four air-rights parcels.
Their plans call for a sprawling mixed-use complex that includes three new high-rises that would accommodate residential, retail and office space, including an office tower with ground level retail. In addition, a new 11,000 square-foot public plaza has been proposed for the Clarendon Street side of the station.

More modifications will likely be made before it gets board approval. Public comments on the project will be accepted until April 16 and can be directed to Michael Rooney, project manager for the Planning & Development Agency, at Michael.Rooney@boston.gov.

Deja vue…….again. This time. with a completely different Boston real estate market – any provisions to be made for those of us who paved the way for this new South End decades ago ?

This has wonderful promise both in functionality and architecture.
Very similar to some thing proposed on the late 1980s.
It has only taken 30 years – LOL
