Arsenal Yards construction remains on schedule and we’re extremely excited to announce that the parking garage in front of Marshalls is NOW OPEN for use by all visitors, employees, and customers.

Upon entrance to the Arsenal Yards site, signage and direction from staff will alert drivers to park in the garage instead of on the surface lot. Barrier fencing will be erected shortly to blockade the surface lot for future construction of the buildings which will house Blvd and Bond apartments and retail storefronts.

In addition to sidewalk and curb setting completion, the garage storefronts are also in process and on schedule for internal tenant outfitting work through the end of the year.

The main entrance road is currently closed due to Chipotle construction and a police and security detail is posted to direct traffic. The HVMA access road is also currently reduced to one lane for vehicular traffic.

The historic Arsenal building which houses Marshalls remains on track while construction teams continue internal work, including skylight installation, plumbing work, waterproofing, and more. Tenants are still on track for occupancy by the end of the year.

Foundation and elevator work continues on schedule for the building next to Marshalls, which will house Blvd & Bond apartments, Roche Bros, Condesa, and three other soon to-be-announced tenants.

Please reference the updated construction map for updated traffic flow and parking locations.

At a community meeting on June 18, the request to build a residential building at Arsenal Yards taller than 130′ was discussed. For FAQs, please click above.

Today, the Boston Globe published an op-ed article by columnist Dante Ramos that opines on the advantage of height for a town vs. width. This article is not about Arsenal Yards, rather about Boston and development concerns on their waterfront, but similar arguments hold true.

“A lot of people are afraid of heights,” the comedian Stephen Wright famously joked. “Not me; I’m afraid of widths.” So am I…… the thing to watch is the girth. Under public pressure, developers often relent on height and compensate for the lost space by making remaining floors fatter. That’s the wrong approach here. Would a svelte 600-foot tower be healthier for Boston’s waterfront than a shorter, fatter building that’s harder to see around? A thousand times yes — especially if the new building is designed well.” – Dante Ramos
