Sullivan Square will transform an underutilized industrial corner of the Charlestown neighborhood and will connect local communities to the Mystic River waterfront.
RISE/TRAX
Sullivan Square Redevelopment
Charlestown-Boston, MA
PORT is leading public realm design for the Sullivan Square Redevelopment Project—three new mixed-use developments located within half a mile of the Sullivan Square Station in the Charlestown neighborhood of Boston. The multi-phase project will include over 1.8 million square feet of lab/office use, 1,050 residential units, and 75,000 square feet of retail. PORT is developing a series of new public spaces including plazas, streetscapes, and courtyards that provide spaces of collection and biodiversity in a formerly industrial area while addressing a myriad of connectivity and resilience challenges presented by the various sites.

The new development is tied together by a series of plazas, gardens, courtyards and active streetscapes that: create a legible and varied public realm experience; unify the disparate functions of the development parcels into cohesive districts; and address a myriad of resilience challenges.
Sullivan Square will enhance pedestrian and bicycle experiences and will create significant neighborhood-focused public space.
