Will Boston’s Next Skyscraper Emerge from Winthrop Square?

Eight developers have submitted proposals for the site.

Eight Boston developers have filed proposals to build at the site of the city-owned, run-down Winthrop Square garage in Boston’s Financial District, according to a Boston Globe report.

Rendering of the 750-foot tower proposed by the Millennium Partners.

The ideas proposed by developers include a 780-foot tower that rivals the height of the Hancock Tower, a two-building residential complex, a hotel, luxury condos, and a public plaza that includes a new church and school.

The proposals for the now-closed garage, which were filed this week with the Boston Redevelopment Authority, will be reviewed by city officials within the next several weeks. After that, the city will invite prospective developers to provide their proposals in greater detail.
