Developer Millennium Partners

Winthrop Square Tower, is a proposed skyscraper planned for Boston, Massachusetts. If completed, Winthrop Square Tower would stand as the second tallest building in Boston, Massachusetts, and New England, surpassing the 52-story Prudential Tower by 3 stories and at least 1 foot (0.30 m). The Winthrop Square tower would be built on the site of the currently defunct Winthrop Square Garage in the Financial District.[1][2]

While planning the Winthrop Square Tower, six developers pitched designs to the Boston Redevelopment Authority, where the design by the Millennium Partners was chosen.[3]

On October 26, 2016, the Boston Redevelopment Agency approved the construction of the tower.[4]
