The Boston Bruins have agreed to build a new practice facility at the $500 million Boston Landing mixed-use complex being built in Brighton, which is anchored by the New Balance headquarters.
"I am thrilled that we have found the Bruins a new practice home within the Boston city limits," Bruins Principal Charlie Jacobs said in a statement. "Our goal is to set the industry standard in everything that we do, and we are confident that our new practice facility will do just that."
In addition to ice time, the agreement includes approximately 25,000 square feet of dedicated locker room, training and office space. Construction is estimated to begin in spring 2015 with completion for fall 2016. Elkus Manfredi Architects will do the design and John Moriarty & Assoc. will handle the construction.
The Bruins have practiced at the Ristuccia Memorial Arena in Wilmington since 1987.
Boston Landing is a 14-acre mixed-used development being co-developed by NB Development Group and HYM Investments of Boston.
New Balance broke ground last fall on its new headquarters, which will occupy 250,000 square feet of the office space component. The master plan for the Boston Landing complex calls for 900,000 square feet of office space, 210,000 square feet of sports facilities and a 175-room hotel, 80,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space and 30,000 square feet of medical offices on 15 acres.
Last week, developers submitted an application to the Boston Redevelopment Authority adding plans for a residential building near the corner of Guest and Arthur Streets. The new building would include 295,000 square feet of housing and 15,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space.
