The South Station development will consist of the completion of the South Station Transportation Center at the lower levels of the project, plus the addition of a 49-story, 980,000-square-foot office tower, a 190-room hotel, a 155-unit residential condominium building, a nine-story, 500,000-square-foot office building, and parking for approximately 755 cars. The office tower has been pre-certified "Silver" under the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED rating system and has been recognized by the EPA as Designed to Earn the ENERGY STAR label.
Important considerations in the master plan were the preservation of the historic South Station train station building; the linkage of the existing train station and bus terminal; and the ability to facilitate future pedestrian access to the waterfront.
