A $500 million Landmark Center expansion and renovation would add three residential buildings with 550 units to the rapidly growing Fenway neighborhood and a new food hall anchored by the city's first Wegmans supermarket.
Developer Samuels & Associates yesterday released the in-depth look at the proposed project, which also would bring 110,000 square feet of additional retail space to the center.
"The expansion of Landmark assures the continued residential vibrancy of the neighborhood, supports its growth as a commercial center and introduces Wegmans as another amenity that is easily accessible to the entire city via the MBTA," Steve Samuels, chairman of Samuels & Associates, said in a statement. "This project allows us to continue to knit together the neighborhood."
A five-level parking garage would be razed to make way for the three residential buildings that would rise 10 to 12 stories above the two new floors of retail space and the 75,000-square-foot Wegmans. Parking for 1,500-plus cars would be underground.
"We want to create another actual front to the building," said Peter Sougarides, a Samuels principal and executive vice president of development, referring to the Fullerton Street back side of the center, where Wegmans would be located.
Samuels, whose completed and ongoing projects have helped reshape Fenway, bought the 950,000-square-foot Landmark Center for $530 million in 2011. Constructed in 1928 as a distribution center and warehouse for Sears, the brick and limestone Art Deco building was converted into retail and office space in the late 1990s by former owner the Abbey Group.
The food hall would run the entire length of the existing center, from Park Drive to Fullerton Street, providing access through the building that doesn't currently exist.
"The building is this great old concrete warehouse that has really great bones and a really great aesthetic, so we will have many different food vendors, retail shops and restaurants," Sougarides said. "It will really be a unique experience … that doesn't exist in the city today."
The project also would include a 25,800-square-foot public plaza fronting Brookline Avenue. Existing surface parking spots would be replaced with landscaped public open space and outdoor restaurant seating.
