Boston World Trade Center redevelopment could mean more hotel rooms

Pembroke Real Estate, the Fidelity Investments’ affiliate that runs the Seaport World Trade Center, is exploring the possibility of hiring an outside firm to look at redeveloping the 800,000-square-foot complex on the Boston waterfront.

Per the Globe’s Jon Chesto, nothing’s more concrete than that: consideration of a firm to study a possible revamp.

However! Pembroke did drop some hints as to what a trade center redevelopment might mean. For one thing, it could mean more retail. For another, it could mean an expansion of the 428-room Seaport Hotel next door to the trade center.

Stay tuned.
