Phase I was delivered by Magellan Development in Q3 2023 with future phases set to break ground in 2024. Boynton Yards and Somerville Gateway which border Union Square to the east and south are complimentary master-planned developments adding a combined 4.1 million SF state-of-the-art life sciences/biotech, hotel, and retail spaces to the broader neighborhood. The project is in a qualified OZ and has been permitted as a Passive House project; set to achieve the highest level of sustainability. Approvals allow for either apartments or condos.
