Bower is the first phase of the Fenway Center project, a group of high-rise buildings along Boston’s Beacon Street near Fenway Park. Bower is an approximately 430,000 square foot mixed-use high rise, with 312 dwelling units spread across two towers – one 9 stories, the other 14 stories plus mechanical and amenity levels. Both towers share a common three-story podium, with two levels of enclosed parking and an additional level of core-shell retail space. The project also shares air rights over the MBTA’s Lansdowne Commuter Rail station and included renovations to the station’s platform and access from Beacon Street.

Code Red Consultants partnered with the developer, Gerding Edlen, and general contractor, John Moriarty & Associates (JMA), to develop an NFPA 241 Construction Fire Safety Plan and a Phased Occupancy Plan for the complex site that spreads across multiple jurisdictions. Code Red additionally served as the special inspector to commission the smoke control systems in the building, which were also brought online in a phased approach in the two towers.
