GATEWAY SHOPPING CENTER
New Shopping Center
Located just outside of Boston, the Gateway Shopping Center is the largest urban retail development
of a brownfield site in Massachusetts. The 90 acre redevelopment site was little more than a massive
pile of earth — 650,000 cubic yards. The fill was used to build the site 6–12 feet above existing ground.
A process called surcharging was used to build pads above a marker layer one foot below the existing
grade. Geotechnical specialists were hired.
