Boston Office-to-Residential Extended Through Dec 31, 2026

The Boston Conversion Program has surpassed 1,500 units and was extended through December 31, 2026. The activation implication for sponsors and brands is that residential anchor density inside the corridors brands have historically activated as office-driven is now growing materially. A corridor that the sponsor activated in 2022 around an office-tenant audience may, by end of 2026, have a meaningfully different residential mix that requires the activation strategy to be re-scoped.

For Boston-area sponsors with World Cup activation in flight, the extended program is an enabling factor for the residential anchor density that supports the broader Boston downtown activation thesis.
