The family that owns the James Hook & Co. seafood store in Boston wants to build a residential tower and restaurant on the property that would fill in one of the last development sites on the downtown waterfront.
A rendering of the project shows a 22-story glass building on Atlantic Avenue at the entrance to the Seaport district with a 9,000- square-foot Hook seafood restaurant on the ground floor. The new restaurant would offer outdoor dining on a deck perched over Fort Point Channel.
Known for their lobster rolls, the Hooks have operated a seafood store on the property since 1925. Fire destroyed the original building in 2008; a small one-story building currently sits on the site. (The building also housed a significant lobster wholesale tank room facility. -KWC)
