The proposal at Landmark Center in the Fenway entails the re
planning and redevelopment of the existing Landmark Center
located at the corner of Park Drive and Brookline Avenue
adjacent to the Sear’s Rotary in Boston’s Fenway neighborhood,
proposed by Fenway Enterprises LLC, a Samuels & Associates
entity, on behalf of Landmark Center Ventures LLC.
• 75,000 gsf grocery store.
MASSING & DESIGN
• An additional 15,000 gsf of office to the
existing 675,000 gsf of office.
The entire site is being re planned to make the historic
• Increase in useable open space by 97
percent site wide to 2.2 acres.
Building massing has been shaped in response to the height
and use of the surrounding context and the desire to preserve
daylight and views both on- and off-site. The removal of
almost 380,000 square feet of existing above-grade garage
offsets the impact of new massing on the Project Site. The
two-story base of the development is made up of a mix
of small, intermediate and anchor scale retail designed to
draw pedestrians to and through the Project Site from the
MBTA, Park Drive, Brookline Avenue and Fullerton Street.
Sears building and the surrounding block more permeable.
The strategies are dramatic and include the demolition of
all above grade parking, creation of new public space on
Brookline Avenue and the relocation of the office lobbies to
the street level. Redevelopment of the Project Site will bring
new ground and second floor retail uses, including a major
supermarket. The interior of the Landmark Center will be
reconfigured to provide weather protected travel from the
Fenway MBTA station to the commercial district of the Fenway
neighborhood, through a destination food market anchored
on the Fullerton side of the building by the new supermarket.
Above the retail, new residential buildings will be constructed.
The Project also includes reconfiguration of a portion of
existing office and cinema space, mechanical space, residential
amenity space and other accessory uses and facilities.
THE PROPOSED PROJECT CONSISTS OF :
• Removal of 380,000 sf of existing above-grade
parking garage.
• Approximately 1,500 new parking spaces below grade.
• Up to 550 new residential units.
• An additional 110,000 gsf of retail to
the existing 276,00 gsf retail.
• A new public plaza along Brookline Avenue and
Fullerton Street.
• Preservation of the landmark status of
the existing historic building.
ZONING
The Project Site is located in the Brookline Avenue Community
Commercial Subdistrict of the Fenway Neighborhood District
pursuant to Article 66 of the Boston Zoning Code. The Project
Site is within the Restricted Parking Overlay District (RPOD) and
the Groundwater Conservation Overlay District (GCOD). A portion
of the Project Site along Park Drive is located in the Fenway/
Park Drive Greenbelt Protection Overlay District (GPOD).
The existing improvements on the Project Site were approved
by the BRA as a Chapter 121A project on December 15, 1996
by a Report and Decision (the “Existing 121A Approval”)
that included zoning deviations. The Proponent intends
to seek 121A in connection with the Project. Because the
proposed building exceeds 50,000 square feet, the Project
is subject to the requirements of Large Project Review
pursuant to Article 80 of the Code. Since the proposed
building also exceeds 100,000 square feet, the Project is
subject to schematic design review by the Boston Civic
Design Commission (BCDC) under Article 28 of the Code.
Building masses above the retail base are oriented perpendicular
to Brookline Avenue and Park Drive to maximize light and
air around the proposed development. Building height
decreases from south to north, stepping down toward the
Audubon Circle neighborhood. The roof space between new
and existing buildings above the retail base creates a unique
opportunity for multi-level open space that is activated by
both the commercial and residential uses. Materials and
architectural expression carried down from the building mass
to the street level accentuate the massing composition.
A modern architectural expression is proposed and responds
to the existing context and to the orientation of new buildings.
The proposed buildings will stand alongside recent and new
development at Trilogy, 1330 Boylston Street, The Van Ness
and The Point, and will express their own unique identity
amid the continued positive growth of this neighborhood.
