115 Winthrop Square
In April, Accordia submitted a response to the Boston Redevelopment Authority's Request for Proposals on a parcel of land in the Financial District known as 115 Winthrop Square. Participants in our team include Ares Management, Starwood Hotels, SHoP Architects, Hacin + Associates, Clark Construction, Otis & Ahearn, Patrick Lyons, Mikyoung Kim, Thornton Tomasetti, WSP Engineering, YR&G, and Fraunhofer USA.
Accordia’s goal is to create a new kind of icon. Beginning with the structure of the team itself—Accordia is a registered MBE and both SHoP and landscape architect Mikyoung Kim are WBEs—the proposed tower is intended to reflect the diversity of the city, and an inclusive future for all. The inspiration for Accordia’s iconic and original design takes its cues from Boston, near and far. Responding to the site and to the uniqueness of the city’s neighborhoods, the tower form makes it move by turning to Boston’s diverse neighborhoods to say ‘hello’. It is at once a building for all – from afar, up close and inside.
More information can be found at our partner Hacin + Associates' blog, and full length responses to the Request for Proposals may be found online at the Boston Redevelopment Authority's website.
