09-12-2013 - NAIOP MA - The Changing Face of Downtown Boston

Date: September 12th Time: 7:15 a.m. - 9 a.m. Location: Westin Boston Waterfront - 425 Summer St., Boston. Perhaps more so than at any time in its storied history, downtown Boston is rapidly evolving to meet tenant demand of a true "24/7 - Live, Work, Play" environment. Spurred on by a renewed desire to live in the city, downtown is currently experiencing an unprecedented expansion of its residential market, with high rise apartments and condominiums either under construction or planned throughout the city's core. Boston is undergoing a renaissance as landlords and tenants seek to capitalize on an expanding amenity base and cost-effective, creative office space, all the while enjoying the best access to public transportation in the metropolitan area. Join us as we explore the ways in which downtown Boston is changing and what tenants, landlords and investors can expect in the coming months.
