context_page_description: Bulfinch Crossing is a redevelopment project currently under-construction in Downtown Boston, United States. It will consist of two skyscrapers, a smaller residential tower, a low-rise office building, a hotel, and a low-rise retail building. Site preparation began in late 2015, and construction officially commenced on January 24, 2017. Construction is planned to last until 2020 on the residential tower. The high-rise office tower, One Congress, will start construction in 2019 and will open in 2022.
context_section_description: In order to make room for the new development, the existing Government Center garage will be demolished. The garage was constructed in the 1960s as part of the Government Center urban renewal project; it contains 2,300 parking spaces. Due to the fact that the garage is entirely made out of concrete, it is considered to be an eyesore by many, along with the nearby City Hall building.
  At least 1,160 parking spaces in the garage are to be preserved to accommodate the new development, the spaces are planned to be placed inside of the new office tower.
caption: The Government Center garage will be mostly demolished, but over 1,000 spaces will remain as part of the new development.
