Back Bay

Everything to know about the ‘CarGurus' building going up above the Mass. Pike

The Parcel 12 development was built over the Massachusetts Turnpike — it's the first project of its kind in Boston in over four decades

NBC Universal, Inc.

Drivers who commute into Boston via the Mass. Pike know it well by now — the new tower with the CarGurus logo on it right as you approach the Back Bay neighborhood.

The building is part of a major new development that's set to be rolled out in 2024 — it's known as Parcel 12, and includes office space, a hotel, retail and restaurant space and a half-acre public park and plaza.

The development is right on the edge of Back Bay — along Massachusetts Avenue between Boylston and Newbury — and developers promise that it will serve as both a gateway into Boston and a new anchor to the Newbury Street experience.

With big names — like CarGurus and Lego North America already announced as office tenants, and CitizenM as the hotel — we're getting the inside scoop on how this major project came to be and how it could transform the area.
