Boston Properties is mulling options on how to integrate retail amenities and a host of restaurants into the tremendous presence in the Financial District, at 100 Federal Street.

Boston Globe writer, Casey Ross, wrote on Boston.com, “the project at 100 Federal St. is still in its preliminary stages. But owner Boston Properties Inc. is seeking to create a more vibrant gathering space by adding new retail offerings at the base of the tower, which stands across from Post Office Square Park…The company is weighing several different options, including enclosing a portion of the plaza in a glass structure for restaurants and food-oriented retail businesses.”
