2013 Annual Boston LAI Chapter Meeting

Please join fellow Boston LAI members for our annual meeting. In addition to inducting some new members we will have the pleasure of hearing from Anthony Pangaro of Millennium Partners. Mr. Pangaro will provide a look at the Millennium Tower and Burnham Building Development on the Filene's site in Boston's Downtown Crossing, which includes the construction of a 625-foot tall residential tower, and the restoration of the original Filene's building into offices and retail stores. The $615 million project also includes the re-creation of a neighboring park including a reimagined MBTA station entrance and an outdoor public amphitheater.  Millennium is also well along in its construction of Millennium Place, a 256-unit residential tower on the corner of Washington and Avery streets that will be completed in the fall of 2013.

 Mr. Pangaro has been engaged as a principal in private real estate development since 1980 and has participated in the completion of over $1.75 billion in private real estate. He is a principal in the joint venture formed in 1997 between MDA Partners of Boston and Millennium Partners of New York City.  

 Mr. Pangaro has been involved in numerous projects while with Millennium Partners, including the Ritz-Carlton Hotel and Towers, the One Charles Condominium, and the 10 Saint James/75 Arlington Street Office/Retail Complex, all in Boston. In previous partnerships he was the principal-in-charge of the development of the Four Seasons Hotel and Condominium in Boston and has also served the public as Manager of the $1 billion Southwest Corridor Transportation and Redevelopment project for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Southwest Corridor Project and the Southwest Corridor Park were presented a Presidential Design Award and the Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement Award. Mr. Pangaro was an advisor to the Government of Puerto Rico for its new $1.5 billion Tren Urbano rail transit system, America's first design/build/ operate/maintain rapid transit system. In addition, he has also held public service positions at the Boston Redevelopment Authority and the New York State Urban Development Corporation (UDC).

A registered architect, Mr. Pangaro holds degrees in Architecture and in Building Science from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and a Master's Degree in Architecture from Harvard University.
