I couldn't find the actual building plans on the city website, but this documentation of a neighborhood meeting for this project notes "grid reinforcing."

From 201 Federal Street, an amazing amount of development along Commercial and York Streets the last few years, happy to see all this instead of empty parking lots or lumber yards personally. Hobson's Landing and Commercial Street Construction from 201 Federal Street...
