Developers and city and state officials Tuesday celebrated the start of work on one of the biggest housing developments yet to hit the Seaport District.

Governor Charlie Baker and Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh were on hand for the ceremonial groundbreaking of Echelon Seaport, a three-tower, 1.3 million-square-foot condo and apartment project being developed by California-based Cottonwood Management.
