BOSTON-The board of directors of the Boston Redevelopment Authority approved the Boylston Street Mixed Use Project, a 450,000-sf complex located within the Prudential Center Complex at 776 Boylston St. that will include retail, residential, hotel and accessory uses.

The project is being developed by CWB Boylston LLC, a newly formed development group led by former Four Seasons Hotel general manager Robin Brown, local property owner Stephen Weiner and Chestnut Hill Mall developer Julian Cohen. The property comprises a 168-room hotel with 199,500-sf of space, 105 residential units comprising 190,329 sf, and 58,777 sf of retail space. The two 13-story buildings will be connected by a low-rise structure. There will also be 178 parking spaces within the garage that will serve the hotel and residences.

Retail and lobby functions will occupy the lower floors of each building. The East Building, bounded by Boylston Street and East Ring Road, will be dedicated to hotel uses on the mid-level floors and residential uses on the upper floors, while the West Building, adjacent to the Boylston Arcade, will be solely residential. As is required in the city, the project will include 10% affordable housing in its residential component.
