Project Phases
Each phase has been planned and laid out in advance. Plans are subject to change.
Project Phases
Currently in its second year, the 12 Porter Street Redevelopment Project has five distinct phases. The first two, involving environmental testing and site cleanup, have been completed. Comprehensive testing of the buildings, soil, and groundwater was conducted by licensed site professionals and hygienists. This was followed by removing identified contaminants consistent with the guidelines promulgated by the MA Department of Environmental Protection.
We are currently in the project’s design phase, which includes creating site plans, engineering designs, city approval processes, and architectural plan development. The final two phases will proceed concurrently.
