The mostly vacant David Broderick Tower will soon get a complete interior renovation.
Owner Michael Higgins has hired JC Beal Construction Inc. to convert the 34-story tower — which has few occupants since the 1980s — into commercial, entertainment and loft space.
The highly recognizable building, which features a 108-foot whale mural by artist Robert Wyland, will be transformed into five floors commercial and entertainment space, with the remaining floors divided into 125 loft apartments. The restaurant on the first floor will remain open.
The development team feels that the time is right to begin the project, says Fred Beal of JC Beal Construction, because of the great success of other building conversions, such as the Kales Building, and all the infill occurring on the Woodward corridor.
