By GlobalDataBoston mayor Martin Joseph Walsh said: “As the future home for State Street’s headquarters, One Congress will fuel economic development and pedestrian activity in Bulfinch Crossing.
“Once complete, this transformational project will support our city, creating income-restricted housing units and contributing over $12m in linkage funding to support additional affordable housing and workforce development programming.”
The building is within walking distance to North Station and South Station. It is situated atop two MBTA subway lines and close to Logan Airport.
Bulfinch Crossing will house residential, office, hotel and retail offerings. The project will feature more than 800 residential units, 200 hotel rooms, 1.15 million square feet of office space, and 82,500ft² of new retail.
