When completed—the schedule says by September 2019—Bulfinch Crossing is expected to include 812 residential units; 196 hotel rooms; 1.15 million square feet of office space; and 85,000 square feet of retail.

It will also include around 1,100 parking spaces for residents and the public; and a one-acre "rooftop amenity," according to an earlier release from the developers.

The first building to go up will be a 45-story, 486-unit apartment building on New Sudbury Street. See below.
