Specifically, this 2022 NPC proposes several key changes from current Project approvals,
summarized below:
1. Significant expansion of the amount of open space to be constructed on Block F of
the Project, to create a singular, iconic public open space at the heart of the Seaport
neighborhood;
2. Creates a residential hub on Block L of the Project, by converting part of the Block
L-6 building, previously slated for hotel uses, to residential use, resulting in a
significant increase in the volume of residential uses and percentage of on-site
affordable housing to be constructed on Blocks L-3 and L-6 of the Project;
3. Includes a use program for portions of the buildings to be constructed on Block G,
Block L-3, and Block L-6 of the Project to include office and research uses to
promote further job creation and economic opportunity;
4. Adds certain additional categories of Allowed Retail/Service uses to better serve the surrounding neighborhood.
This 2022 NPC refers to Blocks F, G, L-3, and L-6 as the “2022 NPC Blocks”.

In connection with the 2022 NPC, the Proponent proposes to adjust and study the use mix
for each of the NPC Blocks, as follows:
Block F: 0 square feet of Retail / 2,000 square feet of Civic use (not including District
Hall);
Block G: 620,000 square feet Office/Research / 30,000 square feet of Retail (inclusive
of 5,000 square feet of civic space). Note that this represents a reduction in
overall GFA proposed for Block G of 21,800 square feet;
Block L-3: 150,000 square feet of Office/Research / 260,000 square feet Residential /
15,000 square feet of Retail;
Block L-6: 130,000 square feet of Office/Research / 210,000 square feet Residential
15,000 square feet of Retail
