BOSTON-The state’s Environmental Affairs secretary Ellen Roy Herzfelder approved the city’s Fort Point Channel Phase II Municipal Harbor Plan clearing the way for Equity Office Properties to implement its plan to redevelop Russia Wharf.

“I am pleased that we were able to strike the right balance between private development and public access for Fort Point Channel,” says Herzfelder in a statement. “This plan will reactivate a critical part of the Boston waterfront and offer high-quality public destinations that support dynamic, year-round public uses of the channel area.”

The city advanced the harbor plan through the Boston Redevelopment Authority. The BRA’s plan centers on implementing the city’s Fort Point Channel Watersheet Activation Plan and a proposal by Equity Office Properties to develop a 33-story 942,000-sf mixed-use building for the Russia Wharf property on Fort Point Channel. The proposed redevelopment includes residential space, a hotel, and pledges to preserve the exteriors of three historic buildings.
