Simon Property Group has officially submitted its plans for a 54,000 square foot addition to the Back Bay Neiman Marcus store, a 60,000 square foot addition of retail / restaurant space, and a 660,000 square foot residential 47-story condo tower that will offer 280+ condos.

The new Boston condo development, slated to be located at 5 Copley Place and called Copley Place Tower, could change the below (current) landscape of the southeast corner of Dartmouth and Stuart Streets substantially.
