More than a decade and a half later, the Boston Planning and Development Agency is starting over in its attempt to redevelop a former chain-making factory in Charlestown’s Navy Yard.

Then known as the Boston Redevelopment Authority, the agency first tapped Danvers-based Kavanagh Advisory Group to redevelop the site in 2009. Kavanagh proposed taking the historic property at 105 First Ave. and turning it into a 230-room hotel under a lease agreement with the agency, according to a 2015 BPDA filing.
