The Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) has launched the Request for Proposals (RFP) for a mixed-use commercial development project at Parcel H in the South Boston Waterfront. Parcel H is located immediately east of the 601 Congress Street office building (formerly the John Hancock Building) and immediately north of Silver Line Way. Boston is a city located in US state of Massachusetts. The area of a parcel is 46,500 square feet (1.1 acres) with potential expansion of an additional 62,000 square feet (1.4 acres) by overbuilding the Silver Line up to the I-90 boat section.  Potential uses include office, hotel, life science/lab, and residential, or mixed development.

Parcel H is one of 12 parcels identified for mixed-use commercial and residential development in Massport’s planning and permitting of the Commonwealth Flats Development Area (CFDA) dating back to 1999.  Since then, Massport has successfully partnered with numerous private developers to complete nearly 7 million square feet of commercial real estate projects, including over 3 million square feet of office space, approximately 1,800 residential apartments and 2,200 hotel rooms, all under long-term ground leases.  Massport expects that the Parcel H project will build upon the success of the CFDA as a vibrant, mixed-use district.

Proposals are due by September 27, 2019
