Boston’s newest premier venue headlines local music scene

Gilbane provided construction management at-risk services for the ground-up development of the MGM Music Hall. The new, state-of-the-art, multi-use performing arts venue was constructed adjacent to Fenway Park’s right field bleachers. With the capacity to accommodate 5,000 patrons, this project was designed to host a variety of events and functions. The LEED Gold facility also features several sustainable elements including a rooftop solar panel system.

Project Overview

A two-story vertical addition above the garage to include various amenity spaces utilized by Fenway Park or the MGM Music Hall
Over 5,000 seats with 1,900 on the main floor for stage events and more than 900 guests for banquets
