Simmons University’s reconfiguration of its campus real estate reached a milestone this week as crews from Skanska topped off a new 19-story tower that combines dorm rooms for nearly 1,100 students with recreational facilities ranging from an eight-lane swimming pool to gymnasium.
Redevelopment of Simmons University’s residential campus received its final local approval this week, clearing the way for 1.7 million square feet of new office, life science and multifamily buildings.
The Boston Planning & Development Agency kicked off 2023 with 2.5 million square feet of approvals, including life science projects in the Longwood Medical Area, Allston and South Boston.
The proposed redevelopment of Simmons University’s residential campus would add four new buildings totaling 1.75 million square feet including a major life science component.
