The site, which had been home to a paint factory and fertilizer plant in years past, required extensive environmental remediation before construction began.
Lifestyle/urban-streetscape retail set along three city blocks connected by a main street (Bay Street), with two to four stories of residential space atop the retail shops.
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.
