Stalled Crosstown Center Project Receives a Shot in the Arm

BOSTON-Crosstown Associates will remain the majority partner in the Crosstown Center Project, but Corcoran-Jennison Construction now joins it as its new partner. The partners plan to develop a giant mixed-use complex.

BOSTON-Corcoran-Jennison Construction signed on in a joint venture to develop Crosstown Center, the proposed 800,000-sf office, retail and hotel complex here. While Corcoran-Jennison will provide capital to the project, the minority development team, Crosstown Associates, will remain the majority partner.

The project suffered a major setback this summer after Loews Cineplex Entertainment Corp. decided not to build a 12-screen theater on the site. Gary Jennison of Corcoran-Jennison was not available for comment by presstime but he is quoted in an issued statement, “We are excited about the opportunity to make Crosstown Center an economic gateway for Boston. This is a $1 billion of investment going into this part of the city.”

Crosstown Center, located one mile from Downtown off Interstate 93, will have a nine-story office building, a 190-room hotel and a 1,300-car parking garage on its 6.3 acres. “This is a mixed-use project,” says Travis Powell, vice president at Spaulding & Slye Colliers, which has been named exclusive leasing agent for the office space. “It makes a lot of sense because it offers all the amenities from access to transportation to parking spaces at a much lower rate.”
