FP3 At The Heart Of The Seaport's Innovation District

Mayor Menino’s branding of the South Boston Waterfront as the new “Innovation District” is paying dividends for the Fort Point neighborhood, according to a recent Boston Globe article. The past two years have seen 3,000 new jobs at 100 firms come to the district spanning areas of the Fort Point, Channel Center, Liberty Wharf, Fan Pier, and the Leather and Financial districts.

The neighborhood surrounding FP3 Boston continues to grow and attract some of the region’s leading companies and innovators.  While the area may be called a variety of names, those who reside in FP3′s Fort Point loft-style condos call it “the best place to live in Boston.” The area is so popular now that restaurants in the once quiet Seaport are thriving, taking reservations well in advance. Barbara Lynch, whose award-winning dining concepts are among the many world-class features of the FP3 building, said she hopes “to continue to see a range of local businesses moving here, large and small.’’

FP3 itself reflects the neighborhood’s rich history while offering contemporary and modern amenities. To find out more about FP3, our luxury condos for sale in Boston, and this dynamic waterfront setting, contact us today.

This is certainly not Adams’ debut in Boston. Her restaurant, Rialto, located in Cambridge, is a perennial favorite and has received praise in both Gourmet and Food and Wine magazines.

The highly anticipated  ”Trade at Atlantic Wharf” will add to the increasingly sophisticated allure of the Seaport District. The area’s posh and casual restaurants and nightlife have made it Boston’s coolest places to life.  Stylish residences, such as FP3 (which is located just over the bridge from Trade), draw an intellectual, fun, diverse, and progressive crowd of well established professionals and artists alike.

FP3 Architect - David Hacin

Boston Mayor Thomas Menino recently announced initiatives to attract more venture-backed firms to the waterfront and to encourage developments to accommodate solar power. At the same time, developer John B. Hynes III announced that he has hired architects to design two residential towers on Seaport Boulevard in addition to a 12,000 square foot, one-story development which will contain an “innovation center” to promote collaboration between new firms in the increasingly popular waterfront area.

Design for the innovation center at Seaport Square will be directed by the architecture firm Hacin & Associates Inc. Hacin was responsible for the award winning design of our FP3 luxury waterfront condos. The two 20-story residential towers, containing 300,000 square feet, will be designed by Elkus Manfredi Architects, who also call Fort Point home. Elkus Manfredi is very active in this area; they are designing the adjacent Fan Pier development by Joseph Fallon and recently completed the new Liberty Wharf, a development of restaurants and offices farther down Northern Avenue.

“We find ourselves in the position of rolling out a substantial amount of activity at Seaport Square to begin satisfying the various components that will make up and enhance the innovation district,’’ Hynes said in a statement. The three building development is part of a more extensive development project in the area which will ultimately include several offices, store fronts, and hundreds of homes. Although an exact date hasn’t been set for construction to begin, hopes are that ground will be broken soon after the submission of final design plans to city regulators in September.

This development initiative exemplifies the rising interest in the commercial enhancement of the Boston waterfront district. FP3′s neighborhood  has become an increasingly popular one as it has continues to attract new residents, businesses, and real estate developers. Join a culturally established community with promise of continued expansion and improvement – contact an FP3 real estate agent today to learn more information about luxury condos for sale in Boston’s waterfront district.

The BRA board approved the tentative designation of the American Seafood Exchange (ASE) project for the redevelopment of the Marine Industrial Park’s parcels M and N at 3 Dolphin Way. The new seafood procession and distribution center will restore the city as a fully functional, working seafood procession port and position it for growth in the 21^st century. The ASE will revolutionize the way seafood is processed by bringing it from the ocean to consumers in record time using a new state-of-the-art facility that consists of a public display auction, cold storage/fresh transfer house, and public packing house. This new development integrates the latest industry technology, facilities and equipment with green building technology and a sustainable design that is aimed at meeting LEED certification.

There will be 300 union construction jobs created during the development stage, then 1,500 permanent jobs one the project is completed. The total project cost is estimated at $68.9 million, with $20.7 million in private equity funding.

“Boston is experiencing an ongoing economic recovery with improvement in the office market, strong retail sales and tremendous gains in residential real estate but even with this progress, we must not relent in our efforts to create jobs, encourage private investment and grow the tax base of our City.”

-Mayor Menino
