Boston‘s Skyline Gains a New Landmark as South Station Tower Officially Opens
Boston’s newest skyscraper, South Station Tower, is now open, bringing luxury condominiums, high-end office space, and a modernized transportation hub to the city’s waterfront. The 679-foot tower,decades in the making,represents a meaningful investment in Boston’s infrastructure and real estate market,promising to reshape the downtown experience for commuters and residents alike.
The mixed-use development aims to address the growing needs of boston’s expanding population and business sector. Wiht a redesigned south Station bus terminal increasing passenger capacity by 50%, the tower seeks to improve connectivity for travelers. Simultaneously, the addition of 166 luxury condominiums under the Ritz-Carlton brand and significant office space caters to a demand for premium living and working environments in the city center.
Floors 12 through 34 of the tower are dedicated to office space, with law firm Jones Day, hedge fund Citadel, and property insurer FM already confirmed as tenants. Residents of the 166 Ritz-Carlton branded condos, occupying floors 36 to 51, will enjoy “unsurpassed panoramic views of the city and Boston Harbor,” according to the developer.
Beyond residences and offices, South Station Tower features unique amenities including a nearly one-acre “Sky Park” on the 11th floor, complete with a dining terrace and health and wellness areas. A restaurant is located on the ninth floor, and residents have exclusive access to a private club on the 36th floor boasting a 75-foot outdoor pool.
The condominiums within South Station Tower are priced between $1.3 million and $14 million,considerably higher than the greater Boston area’s median condominium price of $600,000 as of August,according to The Warren Group.
