Utile team awarded Water Transportation Terminal project

Utile is the design lead for a multidisciplinary team that will design and engineer a ferry terminal in South Boston for the Massachusetts Port Authority. Led by HDR Engineering, Inc., the project team will design a water transportation terminal and adjacent public spaces, between the World Trade Center and Fish Pier on the South Boston waterfront. The new terminal will serve ferry and water taxi passengers and will contribute to an expanding water transportation network in Boston Harbor.

During the selection process, Utile developed several design options to better understand the relationship between land and water sheet and to explore tidal impacts and accessibility challenges.

Utile wins Stuart Street Planning Study project

Utile was recently awarded the contract for the Boston Redevelopment Authority’s Stuart Street Planning Study. The project will involve analysis of an urban district located between Boston’s Back Bay, South End and Bay Village and recommendations for a zoning update. In addition to a comprehensive consultant team, Utile is joined by financial adviser Yanni Tsipis of Colliers Meredith and Grew and regulatory attorney Donald Wiest of Brennan, Dain, Le Ray & Wiest.

The study will examine potential development opportunities, identify and define height, density and use guidelines, and develop scenarios for future development in the area.
