If you take the Mass Pike into Boston, the construction impossible to miss. Here's what they're up to.
Workers have spent the better part of a year on a massive construction project known as Parcel 12. It’s being building right over the highway and right next to the Mass Ave Bridge.
“This is really an incredible project,” said Abe Menzin, the executive vice president of development with Samuels & Associates. Crews dug 250-feet below the Pike, built a deck over 8 lanes of traffic and 2 train tracks to support two large buildings. There will be a hotel on one side and an office building on the other and in the middle will be green space. The idea, says the developer, is to connect the South End, Back Bay and Fenway. NBC10 Boston got an inside look at the city’s first air rights project in 40 years.
Menzin said his company has had the complicated task of getting the project off the ground, literally. “Our goal is that people will walk around from Newbury Street, Mass Ave and down Boylston Street and create that pedestrian loop that right now has not been as engaging,” he said.
