Harborview

The successful integration of the Harborview project within the historic Charlestown Navy Yard required a great deal of creativity and attention to detail. FPA developed a proactive environmental strategy to secure all regulatory approvals, including Chapter 91 licensing and local zoning. The site program incorporated residential, structured parking, and ground floor facilities of public accommodation as well as ample public open space, including the highly visible Harborwalk. The result of extensive collaboration with neighborhood groups and state and local regulatory agencies, the project's completion in 2008 transformed the physical, aesthetic and environmental character of the site from a blighted parcel into a neighborhood asset. FPA has continued to work with the building owners to manage water transportation and ground floor facilities of public accommodation implementation issues.
