The proposed building, part of the larger $1.6 billion Fenway Corners redevelopment project, aims to blend modern office space with the historic charm of the neighborhood.(bizjournals.com, costar.com)
Developed by WS Development in collaboration with Fenway Sports Group and Twins Enterprises, the building at 55 Lansdowne Street will offer approximately 250,000 square feet of office space, with the Red Sox and Fenway Sports Group expected to occupy the majority. The design includes two floors of retail space, a rooftop event area, and a digital screen atop the structure . Architects have emphasized a contextual approach, aiming to respect the area’s historic fabric while introducing contemporary elements .(boston.com, bizjournals.com)
While the development promises economic growth and modernization, it has sparked concerns among locals and fans. Some worry that the new building could obstruct views of the iconic Citgo sign and alter the traditional backdrop of Fenway Park . Others see it as an opportunity to revitalize the area, bringing in new businesses and enhancing the fan experience. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2026, with completion expected within a few years.(cbsnews.com, boston.com)
