Five years from now, the Fan Pier - Seaport District neighborhood will be practically unrecognizable, based on what’s being planned for the area.

According to The Boston Herald:

Long-time city developer Joe Fallon yesterday offered a sneak peak of the design of the long-anticipated Fan Pier project, the largest waterfront project in Boston’s history.

Fallon, in a presentation to a City Hall design panel, laid out his vision for a new Hub neighborhood of nine city blocks and three million square feet of residences, offices, shops and restaurants.

While the project would be dominated by high-rise condos, offices and hotels - up to 21 stories - the buildings will be lined with restaurants and stores at street level. Two major parks, a marina and a harborwalk would also make the development accessible to the public.

A flagship condo and hotel tower will be the first to go up. The high-rise will take shape next to the Institute of Contemporary Art’s soon-to-open glass harborfront showcase and Anthony’s Pier 4.
