Faneuil Hall Marketplace would be set for dramatic changes to its historic Quincy Market building — including the addition of escalators — under preliminary design plans that manager Ashkenazy Acquisition Corp. is floating with the city.
The New York real estate investment firm is proposing a redesign of Quincy Market that includes a pair of new, two-story tenant additions encased in glass "sheds," according to an 80-page document submitted to the Boston Landmarks Commission. One of the new spaces is designated for a Uniqlo store, the Japanese fast-fashion retailer that's on an East and West Coast expansion spree, according to the documents.
"It's a preliminary design that we wanted feedback on," said Joe Press, Ashkenazy's senior vice president of asset management.
Plans the firm is scheduled to present at the Landmarks Commission's meeting Tuesday call for the removal of "temporary tenant installations." But Kristen Keefe, Faneuil Hall Marketplace's general manager, could not say whether they include pushcarts or other vendors.
Ashkenazy purchased the city-owned tourist center's lease for $136 million in 2011. The city's blessing was based in large part on Ashkenazy's promise of a capital investment in the property that included upgrades to draw locals.
But the city has expressed frustration with the firm's slow pace on a master plan to redevelop the property — a plan it initially had said would come in the spring of 2012. Ashkenazy since has hired Boston's Elkus Manfredi Architects, Watertown planning and design firm Sasaki Associates and New York's Biederman Redevelopment Ventures Corp. to help create the master plan.
