Your Seaport Spring Update: What's the Action?

One of the longstanding critiques of the Seaport is that there is no room (physically and economically) for the neighborhood within a neighborhood to evolve. In 2019, those prospects have improved significantly...

The Fort Point neighborhood has become the champion of the area, inviting more construction, social developments, and community-oriented to claim a spot in this treasured parcel of Boston. This is promising news for local restaurants, who depend on the business of weekend warriors and out-of-towners to bolster their success. 

Luckily, the impending projects of 2019 will seek to improve the desirable resident feel that has long eluded the Seaport.

Here is a glimpse of the five most exciting changes taking place right now:

Sea Steps: The five publicly accessible, terraced levels next to the Pier 4 luxury condo complex and the Institute of Contemporary Art area are expected to open in summer 2019.

Martin’s Park: A one-acre play and rest space at 64 Sleeper Street, named after the youngest victim of the 2013 Boston Marathon attack. Poetically, it’s located next to the Boston Children’s Museum.

KinderCare: in another win for parents (and kids), the daycare with 102 slots opens this month at 130 Autumn Lane.

Trader Joe's: there are swirling rumors which indicate that the grocery store may find a presence in the Seaport by year's end. This development would attract more people to living closer to the area, with more amenities becoming available.

Stay tuned for more on the goings-on in the Seaport, as it continues to evolve and become a premier destination for residents and visitors alike!
