Lyrik Back Bay Boston
About
Lyrik Back Bay is a mixed-use destination built around a two-level, open-air plaza anchoring Newbury Street. The plaza is ringed with places to eat, shop and gather, with plenty of outdoor seating and an upper level suited to watching the sunset over Back Bay. It is home to citizenM Back Bay, the hotel brand’s largest property, and Rivian’s first Massachusetts showroom, along with a growing lineup of restaurants and cafes.
The site was built over the Massachusetts Turnpike, replacing what was once a dangerous highway on-ramp, and the project came together over more than a decade. Its name draws on the neighborhood’s legacy as a hub for music and art, with institutions such as Berklee College of Music, the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Fenway Studios nearby. Announced dining tenants include Avra Estiatorio, CHICHA San Chen, Van Leeuwen Ice Cream, George Howell Coffee, Pink Carrot and Rosa y Marigold.
