The former Filene’s location (vacant for 3+ years) is set to be overhauled. To residents and workers in the area, you can breathe a sigh of relief as knowing that literally anything to fill the empty hole in the ground would absolutely be considered an upgrade. Well what an upgrade it indeed will be. A $615 Million facility to be exact, the new ‘Millennium Tower’ as it will be known, which formerly identified as a smaller and less impressive construction which was once proposed by Vornado. Millennium Tower will be comprised of five hundred residential units, five hundred and twenty-five underground parking spaces, along with 200,000 square feet of office space and an additional 230,000 square feet for retail shops. The building will become Boston’s 4th tallest and a great addition to the skyline.
