Bulfinch Crossing (also known as the Government Center Garage Redevelopment) is a redevelopment project currently under construction in Downtown Boston, Massachusetts, 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 .
It sits above a parking garage, named "The Garage at Post Office Square." [4] [5] The garage descends to 80 feet (24 m) below the surface, at the time one of the deepest points of excavation in the city. Revenues from parking fund the maintenance of the park. The 1.7-acre (0.69 ha) park is a popular lunchtime destination for area workers.
As a mitigation measure for the loss of this parking lot and other nearby parking, the Parcel 7 garage offers low-cost validated parking to customers of local merchants. [23] The expansion of the Haymarket MBTA station into the basement of the building was completed in 2000. The parking garage opened for public use in 2001. [24]
The move is meant to increase parking spot turnover rates along the busy street.

Government Center is an area in downtown Boston, centered on City Hall Plaza.Formerly the site of Scollay Square, it is now the location of Boston City Hall, courthouses, state and federal office buildings, and a major MBTA subway station, also called Government Center.
The parking permits are free to Boston residents, however, and the program is overused; permitted spaces remain scarce. [33] Meters citywide are priced at $1.25 per hour, and metered spaces are also often difficult to find. The number of public parking spaces downtown has been capped since the mid-1970s. [34]
