Utile has been awarded a contract with the Boston Redevelopment Authority to develop a master plan for the South Station / USPS area and an amendment to the Fort Point Downtown Municipal Harbor Plan. As part of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation’s (MassDOT) larger expansion project for South Station, Utile will combine its urban design expertise with economic and regulatory analysis to create a plan that highlights the public realm and makes the surrounding area a more vibrant urban destination. Utile will build on its experience working on Boston’s Downtown Waterfront Planning Initiative to conduct a robust outreach process, and will collaborate closely with the MassDOT South Station Expansion team throughout the process. Partnering with Utile for this project are Durand & Anastas for harbor planning and regulatory consulting, Byrne McKinney & Associates for real estate development and financing, Noble & Wickersham for land use and legal analysis, Nelson\Nygaard for multimodal transportation planning, and Norris & Norris for water transportation.
