<p>Located at the corner of Boylston and Exeter Streets in Boston, 699 Boylston is one of Back Bay’s most highly visible and accessible buildings. Built in 1968 and renovated in 1984, the original structure’s imposing appearance and atypical height stood in contrast to its other mixed-use neighbors. Similarly, its unwelcoming and poorly planned retail storefronts deprived the block of pedestrian activity. But in 2012, a capital management firm with several properties in Boston purchased the property with the goal of invigorating and enhancing this urban asset. </p>
<p>The streetscape was transformed with a simple yet strategic design that delineates a plaza in front of the building, a public way, and a public furnishings zone with permeable pavers. A new façade, stretching two stories tall with highly transparent storefronts to the retail spaces, was designed to inspire activity at the ground level. The building lobby was completely reconfigured to capture and create additional leasable space at the street level for new tenants. Abundant glazing highlights what’s going on inside the retail spaces and connects the building with the bustling pedestrian activity on Boylston Street. It will serve to influence future implementations of streetscape improvements along Boylston Street.</p>
