Boston, MA Suffolk, one of the most successful and innovative builders in the country, teamed with Samuel and Associates and Bright Horizons to celebrate the completion of Phase One of the Landmark Center project by reading to children at the Bright Horizons Family Center at Landmark.
Suffolk Northeast’s Landmark Center project team hosted nearly 120 children for a Construction Play Day at the project site, located in the city’s Fenway neighborhood. The children, led by Suffolk superintendent Gavin MacPherson, read the book “Mighty, Mighty Construction Site,” were quizzed on construction flashcards, practiced Suffolk’s “labor scope” by transferring dirt to an excavator bucket, re-built the Landmark Center on a slightly smaller scale, and much more.

Phase One of the expansion and renovation of the historic Landmark Center office and retail building created more than two acres of new high quality, publicly accessible open space, including a new 1.1-acre open space along Park Dr. opening in mid-2018, created a destination food hall featuring local chefs at the base of the existing building and created new open spaces and public realm improvements throughout the Landmark Center site.
