WS Development Unveils Plans for Redevelopment of Boston Retail Property

As part of the redevelopment of The Street in Boston, the pond-facing overhang of the original structure will be modified to allow light infiltration. Additional outdoor gathering spaces such as asunken patio and a reclaimed pedestrian space at the original loading dock will also be activated for open-air experiences, dining and community programming.

BOSTON — Locally based firm WS Development has unveiled plans for the redevelopment of The Street, a retail property in Boston’s Chestnut Hill neighborhood. The centerpiece of the project will involve the repositioning of the three-story, 90,000-square-foot building at 27 Boylston St. to house new retailers and restaurants, as well as office space and outdoor communal areas. The project team will also upgrade the existing landscaping, architecture and public spaces. WS Development is designing the project in partnership with global architecture firm Sasaki. Completion is slated for 2023.
