BOSTON — Suffolk Construction has been selected to manage the construction of One Channel Center in Boston's Innovation District. A joint venture between AREA Property Partners and Commonwealth Ventures is developing the $125 million project. Crews will construct a 525,000-square-foot, 11-story office building and a 10-level parking garage. When complete, State Street Corp. will occupy the building. The scope of the project will also include the creation of two open-space areas: the 72,000-square-foot New Park and the 9,000-square-foot Iron State Park. The Suffolk project team will also manage streetscape improvements such as new sidewalks, trees and lighting. Suffolk is partnering with architecture firm ADD Inc. for the office portion of the project and architect Spalding Tougias Architects for the parking garage. Construction is scheduled for completion in 2014.
