Skanska invests in land in Massachusetts, USA, for USD 177M, about SEK 1.5 billion

Located at 380 Stuart Street in the Back Bay neighborhood of Boston, Skanska plans to develop a 27-story, about 58,000 square meter, Class-A office building with ground-floor retail and below-ground parking. The project will target LEED® Platinum, Fitwell, and WiredScore certifications.

The development site is in the center of the city’s commuter hub, with close proximity to the Boston Public Garden, Boston Common, and the trendy shopping district of Newbury Street. This acquisition marks Skanska’s seventh commercial venture in Greater Boston, and one of the few remaining opportunities for a new, ground-up development in Back Bay.
