New Balance
has unveiled its plans for a $235 million expansion of its Brighton, MA
headquarters that will include a hotel, office buildings and a stadium for
track and field and a hockey rink. Under the proposal filed on Wednesday at
City Hall in Boston, the new 10-story New Balance headquarters would feature 250,000 square feet of office space with ground floor retail. The 15-story
hotel would include 175 rooms in a 140,000-square-foot building and areas
devoted to restaurant use. Multiple 12-story office buildings would include
about 650,000 square feet of space.
“The developer
seeks to create a district within a thriving Boston neighborhood, focused on
job creation, health and wellness, significant sports and fitness
opportunities, open space and improvement to public infrastructure,” according
to the filing.
If approved, New Brighton Landing would be built on a 14-acre parcel of vacant buildings and parking lots on Guest Street.
Last year, New Balance Athletic Shoe paid $26.5 million for two properties on Guest Street. New Balance also bought the Massachusetts Electric Construction Co. site at 180 Guest St. for $5.3 million.
