The owner of the TD Garden has teamed with a major local developer to help remake the home of the Bruins and Celtics starting early next year, and has filed paperwork with the Boston Redevelopment Authority to start the public review process.
If the project gains approval from the BRA, Delaware North Cos., the Garden’s owner, and development partner Boston Properties would recreate the character of the sports stadium into a new retail destination. The Boston Globe has reported that Target and Stop & Shop are negotiating deals to locate stores in the renovated complex.
The project would include two 400-foot towers housing 500 residential units, 200
hotel rooms, 600,000 square feet of office space and 300,000 square feet of retail, according to a fact sheet sent to the BRA. The development team hopes to start construction early next year, according to the fact sheet.
There would also be a shiny new entrance to the Garden and North Station, located in the sports complex, which would feature a large screen projecting images of players, as shown in one of the project renderings.
The towers would be constructed on a 2.8-acre parcel on Causeway Street, now used for parking. The project would also include 800 below-grade parking spaces.
