The developer taking control of the former Filene’s property in downtown Boston said it will build a tower up to 600 feet high, rivaling the tallest buildings in the city’s Financial District.
A 600-foot tower would be nearly as tall as the Federal Reserve Building.
Speaking at a press conference today, principals of Millennium Partners said the tower will cost about $500 million and include a mix of uses, from offices to residences to new shops and restaurants along the street.
“It will really target all the potential uses to bring vitality to this critical corner,” said an executive with Millennium. “It will again become the center of downtown.”
Mayor Thomas M. Menino expressed confidence that the firm will begin construction within a year, ending the work stoppage that has left a giant crater on the site for three and a half years.
