Windover Construction completes 10,000 s/f Rail Stop Restaurant

Boston, MA Windover Construction, an award-winning construction management firm has completed Rail Stop Restaurant & Bar, a contemporary restaurant located at Boston Landing, a new mixed-use development on the Allston/Brighton line.

Rail Stop is a 10,000 s/f, single-level restaurant and bar located at 96 Guest St. It will serve contemporary New England cuisine and seat around 300 people, both indoors and out. Windover tapped Beacon Architectural Associates and interior designer Peter Niemitz to design the space, which features custom high-end finishes and furniture, and boasts a rustic, vintage feel.

Coming on the heels of the completed Beauport Hotel in Gloucester, Mass., the Beauport Hospitality Group engaged Windover for another “soup to nuts” design-build project. Windover orchestrated all components of this turnkey fit-out just short of delivering patrons on its opening day. Windover managed the permitting, programming, budget, design, and construction as well as the finer details such as the procurement of the point-of-sale systems, linens, furniture, glassware, and silverware for our client.

“We’re thrilled to have built such a solid, collaborative relationship with the Beauport Hospitality Group over multiple projects,” said Lee Dellicker, president and CEO of Windover Construction. “We take great pride in our client partnerships, and Rail Stop is another example of our dedication to those principles paying off.”

When completed, Boston Landing will be a 14-acre development spanning almost 2 million s/f. What was once an industrial area, including the region’s largest stockyard, will eventually become a development with office space, retail stores, restaurants and residential units. Most notably, the development is home to a practice and training facility for the Boston Bruins, and will soon add a practice and training facility for the Boston Celtics.

Keeping the “there” there - by Carol Todreas

New zoning is a big topic for many communities. Whether it is to comply with the 2021 MBTA legislation calling for more multi-family housing in locales with access to T stations or to address other pressures from public-private entities, zoning for multi-family housing is believed to be a major part of the solution to the housing crisis.

Placemaking and retail in 2024 - by Carol Todreas

Placemaking. That is the word for 2024. While the concept has historical precedence in urban development, it became part of our current culture in the 1960’s when urbanists started to think about cities for people, not just cars.
