In 2014 Boston benefited from some significant growth and 2015 looks to be more of the same.

The Boston Business Journal posted some numbers to illustrate Boston’s 2014 development:

• $4 billion worth of new construction will have broken ground by Dec. 31, up 16.4 percent from the year before.
• 7.5 million square feet of total space will have been added.
• 12,000 construction jobs were supported this year.
• 3,859 housing units are under construction, on track to meet a target of 53,000 units by 2030.

One of the many contributing areas to the boom is the Boston Innovation District.
