Re: Seaport World Trade Center To be Redeveloped?
I'd prefer that this building remains as is, and perhaps be modified/repurposed/repositioned vs. developed into something that just continues the plateau from the fan pier. I feel like this building retains some of the history of the area. Perhaps something could be done to continue the harbor walk around the WTC.
Also, is any trading really done at the Seaport WTC anymore or is that just a legacy name? |

Re: Seaport World Trade Center To be Redeveloped?
^+1
I like the juxtaposition of the old and new. It also adds character in an otherwise sterile neighborhood (yes I know we are a long way from complete). I also appreciate what it does for the actual "skyline" in the seaport since it is a short structure. This and the fish pier are two of the only remnants of the old seaport, and I'd like to see them remain as is, if possible. If not, the design needs to blow me away. I love density and height, but I'm reluctant to do so here. |

Re: Seaport World Trade Center To be Redeveloped?
It will be interesting to see how they can accomplish all that change of use without changing the massing at all... The mix of uses sounds like it will really benefit the Seaport and Boston even if they keep the massing the same at least to start.

Re: Seaport World Trade Center To be Redeveloped?
800,000+ sq ft total. Retail will increase from 9,000 to 36,000 gsf.
Fidelity will spends "hundreds of million" on the makeover. https://www.bostonglobe.com/business...YGK/story.html

Re: Seaport World Trade Center To be Redeveloped?
I don't have a problem with it. A mix of forms is important in the Seaport, and I'm not sure that 2 or 3 more 200' bricks would be any better than this... we've got enough of those coming as it is.
Actually, I'd love for Fidelity to play around with a truly inviting urban campus, regardless of height. They've got a ton of resources, employees, and local history. If there's a downside to me, it's that Fidelity was the obvious choice to redevelop the USPS property behind its headquarters, but they may not be up for it now. |

I still think of it as Commonwealth Pier. It's the spot where a lot of my family "got off the boat."

Among other things it should dignify the boarding process for the various large booze cruise boats - the existing walkway around the WTC is pretty narrow and there's nowhere at all for a crowd of a couple hundred to be while loading or unloading one of the boats... |

Re: Seaport World Trade Center Redevelopment | 200 Seaport Boulevard | Seaport
Damn, that's awesome! Bravo, Fidelity, for converting large spaces of the current WTC into open areas for their employees and the general public as well as improving on the Harbor Walk. This is a huge win for the Seaport, the city, and the public. My only complaint is that it won't be finished till 2024! Four freaking years from start to finish? Jeez!

I'm really glad the existing WTC building along Seaport BLVD is remaining.

Would be great if they can make it similar to Navy Pier (the retail portion of Navy pier)
