This is the second part in a multi-part series exploring all of the exciting projects under development in the backyard of the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center. From hotels, restaurants, and retail stores, to fitness studios, apartments, and office buildings, there is something new opening up each week here in South Boston’s Waterfront District.
This week we explore Fan Pier, a waterfront area that includes luxury apartments and offices, shops and restaurants, and even its own marina. This 21-acre parcel also contains the internationally acclaimed Institute of Contemporary Art, as well as the John Joseph Moakley U.S. Courthouse, both of which secondarily serve as gorgeous special event venues!
Companies who have, or plan to have, offices at Fan Pier include Vertex Pharmaceuticals (the main occupant of this area), Intarcia Therapeutics, Keryx Biopharmaceutics, Polaris Partners (a venture capital firm invested in technology and healthcare companies), and Goodwin Procter LLP (a Global 100 Law Firm).
