The Seaport district, also known as the South Boston Waterfront is one of the most prized development areas in the country. This once thriving seaport district that once catered to the fishing industry is now home to the Boston Convention Center, Boston hotels such as the Seaport Hotel, the Westin Hotel as well as a new luxury apartment development. Currently on the drawing boards awaiting approvals will be a proposed 9-city block mixed use development. Now under construction are 560-luxury condos as well as another plan for a 264 unit development.
