Everyone knows that the Fort Point Neighborhood in Boston’s Seaport District is getting more desirable by the minute, and here is just one more sign.  Jody Adams, renowned chef, restauranteur, author, world traveler, and contestent on Top Chef Masters, will soon be opening a new restaurant in the area,  ”Trade at Atlantic Wharf.”  The restaurant will feature Mediterranean fare influenced heavily by Spanish, Italian, and Greek cuisine.   The dinner menu will include items such as roast chicken marinated in lemon, slow-cooked stuffed pork and braised beef short ribs, and grilled bluefish priced from $23 to $30.

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.

Visit FP3 this Sunday for our Open House and take a tour of the FP3 building, which was created by adaptively reusing two existing Fort Point warehouse structures and adding one new infill building.  See how award-winning architect, David Hacin, developed the design and successfully blended ‘the old’ and ‘the new’ in the historic Fort Point Channel neighborhood.

You will see the elegant lobby and art gallery space of FP3, where the walls, ceilings panels, and custom benches were all made from salvaged Douglas Fir beams and columns from the original warehouse buildings.

Take a moment to view the current art exhibit featured in the free FP3 gallery, an exhibit of painted portraits by local artist F. Paul Pracilio, or stop by Sportello for some yummy brunch or lunch by celebrity Chef Barbara Lynch on our ground floor!

FP3′s Penthouse 3 is this week’s featured home in The Boston Courant‘s Real Estate Guide.

Reporter Lise Beane recently took a tour of the magnificent space and fell in love with the open concept, amazing views and sun-splashed bedrooms.  She’s also a big fan of the neighborhood and its proximity to everything Boston has to offer.

Here’s an excerpt from the article:

“Just a short walk over the Congress Street Bridge from Boston’s high-end Harbor Front is a hip and happening water’s edge neighborhood brimming with art galleries, development and restaurants.

At the heartbeat of this revitalized Fort Point Channel area, FP3 is an American Institute of Architects’ (AIA) award-winning, new 92-residence condominium conversion and extension with sophisticated penthouses that evoke the new Institute of Contemporary Art. The building’s name, Fort Point Three or FP3, comes from the fact that it is comprised of two totally renovated historic warehouses conjoined with a brand new structure, then topped with penthouses.

Imagine an exciting, one-of-a-kind living space with soaring ceilings, expansive walls of glass showcasing skyscraper views of Boston and extraordinary private decks, so close to the ocean you can see and hear the seagulls.  Each penthouse offers its own unique loft-style design.

Located at 346 Congress Street, the setting is at once past, present and smartly positioned for the future. “

The Penthouse is currently available for sale and previews!  Contact Danielle Meade for more information or to schedule a tour.

Esquire Magazine will feature John Mariani’s annual “Best New Restaurants” list in its November’s issue- and the list is already posted on several ‘foodie’ blogs, including Eater.com.

We are please to announce that our neighbor, Menton, has made the coveted list!

Menton is Barbara Lynch’s newest fine-dining experience, named for a French town on the Italian border, and it’s located on the ground floor of FP3 along with Barbara’s extremely popular cocktail bar, Drink, and Sportello, Barbara Lynch’s spin on the perfect breakfast/ lunch counter spot!

When asked about the inspiration behind her culinary creations at FP3 during the construction of the project, Barbara Lynch explained:

” Because I was brought in at the beginning of the project, I was able to develop very personal and innovative concepts for FP3’s restaurant and retail spaces. For me, the restaurant experience is not just about high-quality food; it’s also about the overall culinary experience – from the right music and ambiance to highly knowledgeable and professional wait staff. I want to challenge people to slow down, relax, and enjoy life. I want to encourage them to linger and learn. What I’ve tried to pass on at FP3 is unforgettable experiences I’ve had myself, which I hope my patrons will also take pleasure in. “

Not only has Barbara left an amazing impression on the Fort Point neighborhood and her patrons; now the critics are singing her praises, too!  Congratulations to Barbara Lynch and the Menton team for this well-deserved recognition!!

Want to be a VIP at Menton?  Live at FP3 and be treated like family by the fine establishments owned by celebrity chef Barbara Lynch- just downstairs from your new home!

Jeff Smith, “Radio Days,” 2009, wood and polyurethane, 33” x 71”

Jeff Smith Artist Statement:

” The work in this show represents the coalescence of techniques and ideas I have been developing throughout my journey to create a genre of my own making in a dimension somewhere between 2 and 3.

My palate comprises reclaimed materials.  The colors, patinas and often the shapes of the wood are as found.  When I make a piece, I am creating a jigsaw puzzle in reverse and without a box.  By creating sculpture from trash, I have invited the viewer to rethink what is or isn’t of value.   As Marshall McLuhan said, the medium is the message. Trash has been my clay since I began sculpting 20 years ago.

When making a piece I am composing a story with overlapping scenes and abstract meanings.  Much of my other sculptural work is physically interactive and kinetic.  These pieces are intellectually kinetic.

When viewed these pieces are atmospheric forays into the subconscious rather than representational.  If music, they would be instrumentals. The lyrics are what the viewer creates in his own mind. ”

David Moore, Ceide Field XXXV, 2009, oil/linen, 60” x 42”

David Moore Artist Statement:

” I have been painting about the use of line and color for more than 30 years.  These paintings are not about a verbal experience as words can only provide a threshold for your entry. Line is blurred into meaning.

My paintings have evolved from representational scenes of urban structures, cloud formations, tree textures, and water studies, to paintings of abstract monochrome grids and curvilinear structures. Saturated color, repeated linear markings, and glowing nuanced surfaces have been essential to my concept of “obsessive abstraction”.

The Ballinglen Series is inspired by travels in Ireland and a residency at the Ballinglen Arts Foundation, Ballycastle, County Mayo, Ireland.  Upon returning to the U.S. with a suitcase full of works on paper, I began a series of large oil paintings entitled “Ceide Field”. Measuring up to 60 inches and just off-square, and smaller oil studies, the paintings parallel the Irish landscape through abstract spatial loops and repeated mark-making.

Influenced by the peat bogs of the “Ceide Field” County Mayo, the coastal rock formations in Easky, County Sligo, the Slieve League cliffs of County Donegal, and the landscape of the Burren, County Clare, this work continues my exploration of the daily ritual of place, realized in paint by dramatic lines, gesture, and color. Line, color, and gesture is used to create micro/macro metaphors of topographical and biological synapses in the series of paintings entitled “Ceide Field”. “

You can also view the art in our gallery if you attend our next open house at the FP3 residences on Sunday, October 17th!

We invite you to join us at our next Open House this Sunday, October 3rd from 1-3pm.

Tour FP3 and see the award-winning architecture and learn more about how Boston-based architect, David Hacin, adaptively reused two existing historic warehouse structures and a new infill building to make FP3 the epitome of blending modern style with the historic Fort Point Channel neighborhood’s architecture.  See our luxurious penthouse suites with breathtaking views of the Boston skyline, or perhaps a trendy loft-style studio is more your style?

Be sure to check out the current art exhibit featured in the lobby and art gallery space of FP3 by artist/ print maker Vicky Tomayko before the exhibit leaves.  We also suggest a visit to Sportello for some yummy brunch or lunch by celebrity Chef Barbara Lynch on the ground floor of FP3!

We hope to see you then!

FP3 Hosts 40 Under 40 Honorees

Last week, FP3 welcomed and hosted a networking reception for the Boston Business Journal’s 40 Under 40 Honorees…what an esteemed group of young professionals!  As a 2010 sponsor, FP3 welcomed this talented and aspiring group of entrepreneurs who are making a dramatic impact on Boston’s business landscape to an evening of social and corporate networking in one of our penthouse suites.

Some one hundred invited guests mingled, networked and socialized with each other, and enjoyed what was one of the nicest evenings of the summer.  Temperatures were still balmy and the terrace of Penthouse 3 served as the perfect back drop as the sun set behind the Boston skyline and the Harvest Moon rose above.

Aside from honoring present and past award-winners, the evening also provided the honorees with a chance to hear how they could leverage and use this distinction to their advantage during the course of every day business.  Sandy Lish, Principal & Co-founder of The Castle Group spoke to the group about creating your own personal brand, a hot and timely topic.

Special thanks to our event partners: Ambrosia Events & Catering, Cold River Vodka, Winston Flowers, and Party By Design [pbd] for making the night such a success!  Penthouse 3 looked amazing and everyone was blown away by the spectacular views, late summer cocktails and easy, flowing conversation and food.  Lots of business cards were undoubtedly shared that night!!
