All 102 buildings screened in Downtown Boston

Every office-linked building this screen covers in Downtown Boston, ranked by office-to-housing conversion suitability. Of the 96 conversion candidates, 76 score 70 or more. 72 pencil at default assumptions without a subsidy, and 8 only with a modeled RESIDE Act grant. Each address opens that building’s own analysis: its floor plate, why it scores what it does, what the conversion would cost and what would have to change for it to work. 3 are already apartment or condominium buildings by the city's own property records; they are listed so they can be found, marked as housing, and left out of the counts above. 3 more have residential records on a parcel shared with other buildings, so which building holds those homes is not recorded; they are marked "Excluded: residential records on a shared parcel; building use unverified" and left out of the counts above without being called housing.

MA-7 & MA-8 · Screened 2026-10-04 · The same buildings are mapped, with every assumption adjustable, in the Downtown Boston survey.

Buildings in Downtown Boston by conversion suitability score, modeled 2026-10-04. “Short” is the gap left after the modeled RESIDE grant.
