updated 10/18/20 with meeting video and Fort Point Landmark District Commission 51 Sleeper presentation (July 2020 ).
In January 2020, 51 Sleeper Street (an office building with Hopsters Brew & Boards on the ground floor) sold to a Life Sciences subsidiary of Hong Kong-based Nan Fung Group. Nan Fung hired Lee Kennedy who is renovating the building for Life Sciences. There will be an abutters meeting to introduce Mathew Powers from Nan Fung Life Sciences Real Estate and Christine Walsh, Government/Community Liaison & Commercial Development at Lee Kennedy Company on:
51 Sleeper Street is zoned M-4 (Restricted Manufacturing). A Research Laboratory is an allowed use. Even though the developer is not required to hold a community meeting, Haley Dillon, our South Boston Liaison from the Mayor's Office, listened to neighbors' concerns and requested that one be held in order for residents to know all of the details about this lab, especially since it shares a wall with homes at Dockside Place Condominiums.
The meeting is open to abutters and any neighbors who are interested in learning more about Life Sciences fitting into our mixed use residential neighborhood. At last count, nine Life Sciences buildings are either existing, under construction or in the pipeline in Fort Point and the Seaport.
