Highlights

  • The site, which had been home to a paint factory and fertilizer plant in years past, required extensive environmental remediation before construction began.

  • The retail component was completed in 2002 and features more than 60 stores and restaurants, along with a 16-screen movie theater. Key tenants include AMC Theatres, Apple Store, Banana Republic, Barnes & Noble, Coach, Gap, Old Navy, PF Chang’s China Bistro, Pottery Barn and Williams-Sonoma.
  • Completed in 2006, the residential component consists of two-story condominium town homes above the shops on the west side of Bay Street and four stories of rental apartments on the east side of the street.
  • Construction of the apartments was financed through proceeds from the sale of tax-exempt bonds; 20% of the units are designated as affordable housing for low- and moderate-income residents.
