$160M Mixed-Use Project in Boston Gets Green Light
Aug 15, 2008

At a recent Boston Redevelopment Authority Board of Directors meeting, city officials gave Boston Development Group the thumbs-up to move forward with The Merano, a new mixed-use project in the city's Bulfinch Triangle community, a neighborhood that is presently undergoing revitalization. Located adjacent to the TD Banknorth Garden arena, the project will bring much-needed hotel space to the area with the development of a 153-room Courtyard by Marriott and a 121-room TownePlace Suites by Marriott. The Merano will also encompass 206,000 square feet of office space, 10,000 square feet of ground-level retail space and 13,000 square feet of ground-level restaurant space. The architectural firm of CBT is behind the design of the project, which was able to find a home with the demolition of the elevated I-93 highway structures. Construction of The Merano is on schedule to commence during the first quarter of next year and wrap up 24 months thereafter.
