Developer Skanska USA, a Swedish company, still must find another tenant.

In the South Boston Innovation District, the company is planning a 455,000-square-foot office building at Seaport Boulevard and Boston Wharf Road, along with a 300-unit apartment and retail complex across the street. It wants to build another large apartment complex in the Fenway at the site of a current Burger King on Boylston Street.
