Gov. Charlie Baker joined officials from the Benjamin Franklin Cummings Institute of Technology to kick off construction on a new, 68,000-square-foot campus in Boston’s Nubian Square that is hoped will further revitalize the neighborhood.
The commercial real estate power couple behind Cummings Properties has made a $12.5 million donation to a Boston technical college focused on first-generation college students and students of color.
Tremont Asset Management hopes to raise a 19-story tower on the site of an early 1900s apartment building it owns next to Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts.
The technical school had been poised to stabilize its finances through the sale of its century-old home in South End to developer Related Beal, while building a new facility in the emerging business and arts cluster in Roxbury, according to designs reshaped by the pandemic.
