Boston permits — week of 2026-05-11
A $61M certificate of occupancy at 41 Lagrange Street is the week's standout — that's nearly a quarter of Boston's entire $251.9M in declared value coming from a single address in the Downtown Crossing corridor. The City of Boston itself shows up as a permittee with a $25.4M project on Bunker Hill Street, signaling continued municipal investment in Charlestown. With 783 permits filed and activity spread from Longwood Medical to Post Office Square, the city's construction pipeline looks broad and active heading into summer.
