One Canal Street
Boston, MA
Located at the tip of the Rose Kennedy Greenway, the One Canal project involves developing surface and air rights on three parcels in the Bulfinch Triangle area of Boston. These parcels are among the development sites in the Bulfinch Triangle created by the construction of the Central Artery/Tunnel Project and the submersion of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) Green Line. In August 2010, both agencies designated Trinity Financial as the developer for these parcels: 2A, 2B, and 2C.
The removal of the elevated Central Artery and Green Line structures has allowed for new development and pedestrian-scaled streets that reconnect the North End to government and entertainment destinations at Government Center and the TD Garden, as well as the historic residential and mixed-use areas of the Bulfinch Triangle and the West End.
Designed to emulate the historic patterning of the Bulfinch Triangle while providing a striking capstone to the Rose Kennedy Greenway, the One Canal project includes approximately 435,000 square feet of residential and retail space. The lobby entrance on Canal Street features visual and historical references to the Middlesex Canal and its extension, which once flowed through the site. The second and third floors contain state-of-the-art amenities, including a fitness center, community room, outdoor plazas, leasing space, and a 147-space parking garage for residents. The fourth through twelfth floors contain 310 luxury apartment homes, including exceptional penthouse-level finishes and designs on the upper two floors. One Canal also provides 20 affordable apartment homes on-site.
Adjacent to the Avenir building (completed by Trinity Financial in 2009), One Canal continues the transformation of the Bulfinch Triangle into a vibrant mixed-use district that complements its surroundings and revitalizes an area once cast in shadow by the elevated highway and Green Line structures.
