The BRA has not scheduled a public meeting of the Impact Advisory Group for this project for several months, and no meeting is currently scheduled. Both Massport and the Federal Aviation Administration have formally expressed their concerns regarding the proposed heights of the buildings, and both have requested that the heights be reduced. No formal response to these requests has been issued publicly by the
developer or the BRA.

See NEWRA’s Community Calendar for upcoming meetings.

Project Summary
The Harbor Garage Redevelopment Project will be located at 70 East India Row on downtown Boston’s waterfront, along the newly reconstructed Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway. The site is adjacent to the New England Aquarium, Harbor Towers and the Greenway.  The Project involves replacement of the existing Harbor Garage with a 40-story office tower of approximately 560 feet in height and an approximately 59-story residential and hotel tower of approximately 690 feet. 

A 770-foot “skyframe” will connect the two towers and provide a sky-line visual and architectural link between the two buildings.  The 1.5 million-square-foot project consists of an 860,000-sf office tower, 220,000 sf of luxury condominium space, and a 300,000-sf hotel with an additional 50,000 sf of hotel function space and amenities.  These elements will sit above a 70,000-sf retail podium that will connect the proposed buildings. A 1,200–1,400 space parking garage and service docks will be located below grade.
