Channel Center Development Mtg Agenda for May 14th

New office/parking garage proposed for Channel Center

Commonwealth Ventures has filed plans to build an 11 story, 521,000-square-foot office building with an included parking garage.  The tenant will be State Street.  As part of the project, the developer is going to do two green spaces, one called Iron Park and another being referred to as New Park (the Globe article refers to them as "public parks", but I believe they will be partially controller by the developer).

This project is part of the area covered by the BRA's 100 Acres Master plan.  See the BRA's page for the 100 Acres Plan for more information on the plan.  Here's what it outlines in that area for new buildings (red), existing buildings, and greenspace:

There will be a community meeting next Monday:
