ADD Inc, Now with Stantec, Completes One Channel Center, the Final Phase of Downtown Bostons Channel Center Real Estate Development

Boston, MA (PRWEB) December 15, 2014

ADD Inc, now with Stantec, completed the design of One Channel Center, the final phase of the seven-acre Channel Center master plan, a 2.1-million-square-foot mixed-use development by Commonwealth Ventures.

The $ 175 million project is located at 1 Iron Street in the burgeoning area of the Fort Point Channel in Bostons Innovation District, the largest urban redevelopment near a major downtown area in the country. The 500,000 square foot, eleven-story structure is home to approximately 4000 employees of State Street Bank and is part of a multi-building masterplan that includes a new two-acre park and a ten-level, 900-car garage.

The design teams vision for the project was based on a digital vortex, a concept that aligns with the technology-focused culture of State Street Bank, the buildings only tenant.

We are extremely honored to be part of such a landmark development as Channel Center and to have our architectural vision for the One Channel Center building represent the conclusion of this momentous project, stated architect B.K. Boley, Principal of ADD Inc, now with Stantec.
