Three years after it abruptly surfaced as Boston’s next big development hot spot, a key piece of Widett Circle is on the market.
The New Boston Food Market this week will put nearly 20 acres sandwiched between South Boston and the South End up for sale, kicking off what real estate analysts expect will be a fierce bidding war for a prime piece of land near downtown.
Bound by busy roads and rail lines, Widett Circle has been home to two dozen meat and seafood wholesalers for nearly a half-century but had been largely overlooked within Boston’s real estate world until emerging as the centerpiece location of Boston’s 2024 Olympic bid. With the Olympics failure, the property has surged to the top of the development agenda in a city desperate for places to grow.
