New focus for Melcher Street project

Earlier, Archon/Goldman, which includes Archon Group LP and Goldman Properties Inc., sold what had been planned as its first major neighborhood improvement - a pair of Summer Street buildings slated to be luxury condos. Those former warehouses at 316-322 Summer St. will now be renovated for office use.

"The street-level retail is a key component to this project and a continuation of what's going on in all of the Boston Wharf area," John M. Matteson, regional director of Archon Group LP, said of the Melcher Street plans.
