While lawsuits seek to block the project, The Chiofaro Cos. has formally kicked off permitting to replace its parking garage on Boston’s waterfront with an office and condo tower.
Conservation Law Foundation confirmed that it will file a lawsuit challenging state approval of new zoning for the Boston waterfront, potentially delaying development of two planned high-rise projects.
The state’s top environmental official rejected appeals of new Boston waterfront zoning that would enable The Chiofaro Cos. and the owners of the James F. Hook & Co. lobster pound to redevelop their properties with high-rises, including an approximately 600-foot tower on Chiofaro’s Harbor Garage site.
The state’s top environmental regulator approved a new framework for development on 42 acres of Boston’s central waterfront and boosted The Chiofaro Cos.’ plans for a 600-foot-tall tower.
