The new Intercontinental is the talk of the town

Although the grand opening is more than three months away, The Intercontinenal Hotel and Residences, located at 500 Atlantic Ave, has become one of the biggest topics among real estate professionals, locals, and visitors alike. With several exquisite new restaurants, state-of-the-art business and conference facilities, 424 hotel rooms, 130 residences, a lavish health club and spa, and much more, the hype that surrounds this new development is nothing but expected.

The Big Dig engineers had to create two large (268 foot-high) concrete ventilation towers for the exhaust to escape from the underground tunnels. Once completed, the Intercontinental began to erect from in between the Fort Point Channel and Atlantic Ave. Now, most admirers of the massive blue-glass structure have no memory of the eyesore that once stood as the focal point of the lot.
