Downtown Boston

In 2020, Buildings & Land assembled and led a professional team which authored a comprehensive redevelopment program in response to the State of Massachusett’s Request for Proposals for the reinvigoration of the 70-year old Government Services Center in downtown Boston, a significant landmark of mid-century modern architecture which had suffered from decades of neglected maintenance. The Buildings & Land team proposed to preserve the existing complex to qualify for historic preservation credits, while adding a 500-foot tall mixed-use tower to an open portion of the site. In 2021, Buildings & Land’s proposal was selected by the State for a second round of negotiations, although scheme has not yet gone forward.
