"A New York development team that helped bring lively urban style to South Beach and SoHo won permission yesterday to tackle the redevelopment of historic brick warehouses in the heart of Boston's Fort Point Channel area."

The developer has paid for 17 buildings in the Fort Point Channel area, which was once part of the Boston Wharf Co holdings of historic warehouses, and plans renovations for 10. They plans call for the creation of a lively district of residential and mixed use buildings to add to the rapidly up and coming wharf area, which is already being settled by artists.

"'I want to see entrepreneurial expression, risk-taking, and creativity' as the buildings are redeveloped, an animated Tony Goldman, chief executive of Goldman Properties, said as he walked briskly on a tour of the neighborhood."
