Construction Begins on 51-Story Redevelopment of Boston’s South Station Transit Hub

by Kristin Harlow September 21, 2022

BOSTON — Work has started on the expansion and improvement of the Governor Michael S. Dukakis Transportation Center at South Station in Boston. Designed by Pelli Clarke & Partners, the capstone of the project will be a 1 million-square-foot building that will rise 51 stories and offer a mix of office and multifamily uses. Construction is being privately funded. Currently, the South Station train station and bus terminal are two separate buildings, making connections between them difficult and inconvenient, according to Hines, which is leading the development. The project will allow for convenient transfers between all modes of transit, with direct connections between the rail and bus terminals. The new outdoor concourse area will increase in size by 67 percent for an improved experience for passengers and people passing through the station. The new bus terminal will increase capacity by more than 50 percent. Along with creating a new public space at the train station concourse, the project will also improve the streetscape along Atlantic Avenue with new sidewalks, granite curbs, streetlights, greenery and street furniture. “This transportation center will embody what we want people to feel about our city when they first set foot here and what the ethos …
