BOSTON
One of Beantown’s most prominent hoteliers is planning a tower that could rise to 35 stories near Copley Square, adding another signature peak to the city’s skyline and contributing to a flurry of building activity in the Back Bay.
The Saunders Hotel Group, which formerly owned and operated the Park Plaza and Copley Square hotels, is part of a team looking to construct a skyscraper on the site of the former John Hancock Hotel & Conference Center.
No formal plans have been filed with the city, but people with knowledge of the project said the developer intends to seek approval for a 400,000-square-foot hotel and residential complex along Stuart Street. These people spoke on the condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to discuss it publicly.
