The Milton-based developer has been seeking approval since late 2021 for eight buildings totaling 1.8 million square feet including a hotel, office-lab space and housing at the 20-acre site on the Mystic River.
The 1.8 million-square-foot redevelopment plan for the former Domino Sugar refinery property includes a new flood barrier protecting not only the 25-acre site but over 200 acres in the surrounding Charlestown, Somerville and Cambridge neighborhoods, developers say.
