Copley place retail expansion and residential addition : project notification formPublication Date: 2011
"Originally constructed on air rights above the MassPike in the early 1980s, Copley Place has contributed significantly to the commercial success of Boston’s historic Back Bay neighborhood. Simon Property Group, the largest U.S. retail REIT, endeavors to refine and enhance the existing Copley Place Development by expanding retail, adding residential programming, and enriching the pedestrian access and environment of the overall site. The proposed Project will incorporate sustainable, transit-oriented, aesthetically contextual, and smart growth design principles that demonstrate Simon Property Group’s continuing commitment to the Copley Place site and downtown Boston. This will ultimately ensure that Copley Place maintains its status as the most attractive retail destination in the Boston metropolitan area. In many other cities throughout the country, retailers are reluctant to retain their in-town locations. The Proponent’s enhancement plans will position Copley Place to actively contribute to Boston’s future economic development just as it did when it was first built in the 1980s. --p.1-1.
