One thing that we truly aren’t making more of is real estate.  The recent focus is Back Bay at the intersection of Mass Ave and Boylston Street above the Pike; will this become the next hot development site?  Parcel 13 is getting a lot of attention and the stars might be aligning for building above the Pike.

The Boston Globe reports, “three companies on Friday submitted proposals to build large complexes on the 50,000-square-foot lot, across from the Hynes Convention Center. The pitches include a curvy, 11-story building with residences, a hotel, and stores, as well as a 21-story complex with shops and 350 apartments…The Massachusetts Department of Transportation will select a winner in the coming months. The redevelopment would create a new entrance to the Back Bay and help enliven a disjointed section of the otherwise bustling neighborhood.”

Is now the time for Parcel 13?  Well yes it is. Between residential, retail and office developments there is strong demand for more new development projects. Our city population continues to grow along with our daily workforce population.  More companies are seeking locations that allow their employees live, work play environments that don’t include driving, but rather rely on public transportation or models like ZipCar and HubSpoke.

From the Boston Business Journal:

Known as Parcel 13, the site represents 54,500 square feet of air rights over the Massachusetts Turnpike, adjacent to the MBTA’s Hynes Convention Center Station on the Green Line. State officials say the site will accommodate up to 320,700 square feet of development that could include a mix of housing, dorms, retail and hotel uses.
