Construction of a 23-story office tower in South End will begin in January, adding another high-rise to the fast-growing neighborhood. Developers out of Florida and California are teaming up to build 110 East — just off the East/West LYNX Blue Line station—that will include 370,000 square feet (34,374 square meters) of office, retail and restaurant space.

It will be just steps from the 23-story Lowe’s tower at 100 W. Worthington Ave., which sold in November for a record-breaking US$318 million. The US$186-million project at 110 East Blvd. will feature ground-floor retail and restaurants, a 900-space parking garage, a 4,000-square-foot (371-square-meter) fitness center, conference spaces and an 11th floor “sky lobby” and deck.

Cushman & Wakefield is the leasing firm. The developers, Shorenstein Properties and Stiles, said a groundbreaking is set for Jan. 26, 2022. The East Boulevard tower was planned to start construction this past summer. It’s now expected to open March 2024.
