Construction
editConstruction was performed in three phases, labeled as The Boston Garden Phase I, II, and III. Phase I improved or expanded North Station and the TD Garden and created buildings described as podiums that later phases built upon.[2] Phase II added a residential tower, hotel, and retail area,[3] and Phase III added an office tower.[4]
Buildings
editThe office tower is anchored by Verizon Communications.[5] It also features the global headquarters of Rapid7.[6] The building was certified LEED v3 Platinum in 2022.[7]
The 440-unit luxury residential tower opened in November 2019.[8]
The Hub Hall is a commercial area that opened with 18 food vendors in late 2021.[9] Notable vendors include celebrity chef Masaharu Morimoto's first restaurant in New England, Momosan Ramen.[10][11]
The 10-story, 272-room hotel CitizenM Boston North Station opened as part of Phase II construction.[12]
ArcLight Cinema opened a 15-theatre venue in November 2019, but all locations were permanently closed due to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.[13] In December 2022, AMC Theatres acquired the lease to the location.[14][15] It reopened as part of the AMC chain in November 2023.[16]
The 60,000 sq ft (5,600 m2) Star Market located below the ground level of The Hub on Causeway is the largest grocery store in Boston by area.[17]
