Second Amendment to the Development Plan for Planned Development Area No. 106, 1000 Washington Street/321 Harrison Avenue
Said Second Amendment consists of the conversion of the existing 1000 Washington office building to accommodate new life science uses. The property at 1000 Washington currently comprises approximately 234,809 sf of the currently existing 540,192 sf Gross Floor Area (“GFA”) on the Site. The proposed changes will primarily be interior to the building; however, some exterior changes are proposed, including new thermally efficient windows, substantial changes to the exterior envelope at the eleventh floor and expanded mechanical penthouse and rooftop mechanicals; increased energy efficiency measures; and minor changes to the loading dock. The Second PDA Amendment is required for the Revised Project in order to (i) clarify the measurement of building height and (ii) clarify the process for approval under applicable provisions of the Groundwater Conservation Overlay District in the existing PDA. |
