Facts

• The South Station development consists of the completion of the South Station Transportation Center at the lower levels of the project plus the addition of a 47-story, 1.2 million square-foot office tower, a 500-room hotel, a nine-story 430,000 square-foot office/research and development building, and parking for approximately 1,400 cars.
• According to a December 2000 story in the Boston Herald, the Federal Aviation Administration has serious concerns over the proposed height due to its proximity to Logan Airport. Likely the tower will be scaled down to meet their requirements or possibly not be built at all. Talks are still in progress.
• In March of 2006, the project proposal was modified to include: a 40-story office tower (920,000 sq. ft.), 9-story office building (455,000 sq. ft.), 200 room hotel (220,000 sq. ft.), 150 condominiums (170,000 sq. ft.), and 900 parking spaces.
