Proposed South Bay development
Boston – EDENS, a national retail real estate developer, recently received approval from the Boston Redevelopment Authority Board for a 700,000sf mixed-used development at South Bay. The plans envision a transformation of the adjacent vacant industrial property and concrete plant into a vibrant, dynamic town center along with upgrades to the existing South Bay shopping center.
Drawing from its 50 years of experience in crafting community gathering places across the country, EDENS is proposing 113,000sf of restaurants and shops, a 12-screen luxury AMC Theatre with IMAX, a flagship Wahlburger’s, and a 130-room hotel.
The firm will partner with Mill Creek Residential to bring 475 housing units to the South Bay development with a mix of studio to three-bedroom residential units. The new residences, all within close proximity to two T Stops, will be highly amenitized with roof decks, a pool with cabanas and grilling areas, fitness facilities, and more.
Planned investments include over $7 million to neighborhood infrastructure improvements and over $1 million in community benefits during South Bay’s development. In addition to partnering with local authorities to make significant traffic improvements for the community, EDENS will increase security, shuttle services, and create a series of landscape improvements, a pedestrian main street, and welcoming outdoor spaces.
