New luxury condominiums rise above Boston's South Station

A new luxury development has opened atop Boston's South Station, featuring 166 high-end condominiums and altering the city's skyline. The 690-foot, 51-story mixed-use skyscraper, developed by Hines, was built over active rail tracks, requiring extensive engineering and coordination with multiple transit authorities. This project follows a trend of developing over transit hubs to fund infrastructure improvements, with construction primarily occurring overnight to minimize commuter disruption.
