Overview
- Boston zoning officials signed off on the project on Feb. 11 after a unanimous Boston Planning Department vote in January.
- DGH Hotel Partners, a joint venture of Global Hospitality Investment Group and a global investment manager, plans a 160,000-square-foot hotel with a landscaped entry plaza, an indoor/outdoor lobby bar, and rooftop space.
- The hotel is the final phase of a campus started in 2016 with the Aloft and Element properties, bringing the three-hotel total to 968 rooms on D/Anchor Street across from the convention center’s Lawn on D.
- The site is controlled by the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority, with GHIG leasing the land, and filings note an all-electric design with a commitment to purchase 100% renewable electricity.
- New details from city filings and the development team cite a select-service positioning, an estimated $110 million cost, contractor Lee Kennedy Co., and no announced groundbreaking date as timing will be set with the MCCA.
