In addition, the project will provide $5.1 million in housing and $1.1 million in job linkage payments as well as tax revenue of approximately $16 million across the four project sites as well as increased retail revenue opportunities for the MBTA at the Back Bay station.

In its March 29^th filing with the BRA, Michael Cantalupa, senior vice president with Boston Properties, stated, “This project is conceived as a holistic and transformative mixed-use transit-oriented development which will revitalize an underutilized urban site and transform the adjacent public realm, integrate and connect the surrounding Back Bay, South End and Bay Village historic neighborhoods, and create an attractive and appealing place worthy of this prominent location within the City of Boston.”

In a prepared statement provided to Globest.com, the company further states, “Boston Properties envisions this location as both a welcoming 'front door' to the city of Boston and a critical new point of connection between the Back Bay and South End neighborhoods. In parallel with related improvements to the Back Bay Station, our proposed project will knit the area back together and provide active street-front uses, an improved pedestrian experience, and a vibrancy befitting the surrounding historic residential and commercial blocks.”
