In October, the city approved the development of a 13-story, 12-unit condo tower to replace a four-story office building currently on the site. After local opposition to the proposed 255-foot spire and 32 stories, the height was cut to 175 feet.

Slated to begin construction this spring, the building will “erupt” out of South Station. The first 26 floors will be high-end offices while the top 16 floors will be luxury condos. The tower will be the fourth tallest in Massachusetts and will also include a fifty-percent expansion of South Station’s bus wing.
