South Station Tower is a proposed skyscraper intended for construction in Boston, Massachusetts. The tower by design would rise 621 feet (189 m), with 41 floors and consist of a hotel, condominium units, office space, and a parking structure.〔 It would be built atop Boston's historic South Station complex, an example of "transit-oriented development." The property was developed by Hines Interests and TUDC, a subsidiary of Tufts University. South Station Tower was planned to break ground in 2008, with completion scheduled to occur in 2010, but the project stalled and has not reached development. Approval has been obtained for a project totaling .〔(Boston Redevelopment Authority project listing )〕 ==History== Development of the airspace above the southbound tracks has been delayed several times. The building was conceived by Tufts president Jean Mayer, who foresaw an "epicenter of high-profile medical research" in downtown Boston. In 1991, Tufts created a for-profit development subsidiary, TUDC LLC, and acquired the rights to the airspace. Development over the past decade has been complicated by Boston waterfront zoning restrictions, which require pedestrian access to the waterfront. In 1997, TUDC brought on Hines Interests LP as a development partner. It appears unlikely that the university will have a presence in the finished building. South Station Tower was originally designed with a height of 759 feet (231 m), which included a decorative spire.〔 However, the project was downscaled in 2006.〔 A report in 2013 suggested that the developer was considering constructing the building for condominiums.〔http://boston.curbed.com/archives/2013/09/might-now-be-go-time-for-south-station-tower.php〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「South Station Tower」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
