“We have celebrated nearly 50 openings in the Seaport in just the last two years but it’s no less exciting to see this next wave of businesses arrive. Our new retailers really speak to the evolving nature of the neighborhood, accommodating the needs of the growing number of families, businesses, and City residents seeking the best in food and fashion,” said Todd Norley, vice president, leasing, WS Development.
