"The Project will entail the demolition of the existing garage and the creation of over 28,000 square feet ("sf") of new, waterfront public open space, thereby realizing a principal objective of the Downtown Waterfront District Municipal Harbor Plan and Public Realm Activation Plan ("DWMHP"). With an emphasis on environmental sustainability and climate resilience, the Project consists of: (i) a destination outdoor gathering space, a substantial portion of which will be designed for seamless integration into the New England Aquarium's proposed "Blueway" vision for harbor access; (ii) an approximately 865,000 sf, architecturally distinctive tower element, 585 feet to the highest occupiable floor and no more than 600 feet in total height, containing retail, dining, office, and residential components and ringed with active uses on the lower levels; and (iii) a new, state-of-the-art below-grade parking facility consisting of approximately 1,100 spaces and serving both the Project and the surrounding neighborhood." --Page 1-1.
