South Station Tower is a 51-story mixed-use tower situated over Boston’s most connected and active transit hub. The upper 16 floors of the sustainable development will feature residential condominium homes serviced by The Ritz-Carlton, offering unsurpassed service and panoramic views of the city and Boston Harbor, a full floor Amenity floor on Level 32 complete with infinity pool, exterior terraces with kitchen/barbecue stations and casual lounging and dining areas and an expansive, nearly 1-acre private park on the Podium Level, 120 feet above the city. With a striking, timeless design, this new icon—rising 690 feet above one of Boston’s most seen and recognized landmarks—will redefine the Boston skyline. The remaining floors the building will offer 685,000 square feet of Class A office space complete with Fitness Center.

The project also includes the expansion of the existing bus terminal at South Station, notable for its significant private investment in the city’s transit hub, and the continuation of South Station’s history of being a regional transportation core and destination. This construction is creating an architecturally significant public space at the train station concourse that enhances the image of South Station as a gateway to the city, while increasing the bus terminal capacity by approximately 50 percent and providing more convenient connections to the train and subway. It will also improve the streetscapes with new sidewalks, granite curbs, streetlights, and greenery, further activating the area and resulting in a vibrant and welcoming experience for all.
