The station, which was officially announced on June 7, 2012, is the result of discussions dating back to 1998. It was then projected to cost $16 million and to serve as many as 2400 daily riders by 2030. It is an infill station, since commuter rail trains passed frequently on existing tracks through the site. In November 2012, New Balance announced their intention to open the station in 2014. However, in May 2014, the expected opening was pushed back to the fall of 2016. The new station is being financed by New Balance under a public-private partnership agreement. Prior to a May 2013 renaming, the proposed station project was known as New Brighton Landing.
A groundbreaking ceremony for the $20 million station was held on May 12, 2015. The station opened on May 22, 2017. Boston Landing station is fully accessible, with elevators on the pedestrian bridge to Arthur Street and another elevator to the Everett Street bridge.
