NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS: West Coast firm takes on Fort Point

The West Coast development firm Gerding Edlen is bringing its urban development vision to Boston’s Fort Point Channel neighborhood, where it plans to begin construction next spring on a 20-story tower at 319 A St. that will be the former industrial enclave’s largest residential building. The firm purchased the property and an adjacent building on Melcher Street recently from Archon/Goldman, which had spent years getting permits for a large apartment project on those properties.
