A state court ruling could indefinitely delay a $1.2-billion waterfront tower that had appeared to be finally edging towards construction under former Boston Mayor Marty Walsh after years of delays.
The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court recently nixed Boston’s Downtown Municipal Harbor Plan. Approved under the Walsh administration, the harbor plan laid out zoning rules that would have effectively paved the way for developer Don Chiofaro to move forward with plans to replace an aging concrete parking garage next to the New England Aquarium with a 600-ft tower overlooking the city’s harbor.
