WBUR covers the story of the Seaport District, long seen as Boston’s next great neighborhood.
What that neighborhood will be remains to be seen. As of now, it’s a bunch of parking lots with a series of new mid-rise buildings off in the distance, as much a part of the harbor as it is part of the city.
Michele Yeeles still attends the occasional BRA meeting. As a resident of Fort Point and a business owner, she’s disappointed to see hotels trump grocery stores in what she hoped would be a neighborhood by now.
“When you think about a really beautiful neighborhood, waterfront, it is a really strong mix of residential, business, retail, parks,” Yeeles said. “I think it’s also something that is acknowledged within the various planning documents — it’s just obviously not fulfilled its full potential yet.”
So, when will it all be done? When will we see Boston’s next, great neighborhood?
According to Kairos Shen, the Boston Redevelopment Authority’s chief planner, although the city missed a critical window for building more residential when the market was booming, ” … he preaches patience and says the area will not be fully developed until 2040.”
