South Bay is a 10-acre (40,000 m²) site in
Boston,
Massachusetts between
Chinatown and the
Leather District. It is roughly bounded by Kneeland Street, Hudson Street, the
Massachusetts Turnpike mainline, and the
Interstate 93 mainline. Currently owned by the
Massachusetts Turnpike Authority (MTA), the site is being put up for development. The developer with the winning bid could put up an office tower as high as 600 feet, but the site is being envisioned as a mixed-use project anchored by office towers, that would include parkland, retail, hotel, and residential space. The South Bay development will serve as the southern anchor of the
Rose Kennedy Greenway, a stretch of parks, museums, and civic spaces that will replace the
Central Artery.
