Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steak House interior located in Fort Point Boston.

Texas-based restaurant chain, Double Eagle Steak House, is set to open a Boston Restaurant at Liberty Wharf on April 23, 2011.

Liberty Wharf, the $60 million three-building complex, is being developed on the South Boston Waterfront by Cresset Development LLC and will include four restaurants, a public marina, and a plaza with outdoor seating on the water. Previously, this piece of real estate was once home to the famous Jimmy’s Harborside restaurant.

Del Frisco’s said the 13,000 square-foot restaurant will have about 350 seats, and will feature a wine list with over 1,200 selections. The famous steak house will also serve its signature prime beef, in its new Waterfront location.

As stated in the chain’s press release, “Del Frisco’s will house nine separate wine cellars, including its signature floor-to-ceiling wine wall located in the grand foyer and an intimate dining wine cellar.” With nearly 30 restaurants nationwide, the chain is excited about their move to Boston’s Waterfront.

“Bostonians have been visiting us for years at locations like NYC, Charlotte, and Dallas so we’re proud to finally be opening in their hometown.”

–Del Frisco’s chief executive, Mark Mednansky

Real estate prices have dropped significantly all over the country in the past few years, but it seems that Boston luxury real estate prices are recovering well. Several of Boston’s neighborhoods have built new luxury apartments and condos, and most neighborhoods in the city are doing pretty well. Some of the hottest areas for luxury real estate include the Seaport/Fan Pier District, the Back Bay, the South End, and the SOWA district.

View of Boston's Beautiful Seaport District

The Seaport/Fan Pier neighborhood is located in the part of Boston that was (no surprise here) originally the seaport area. You’ll find easy access to some of Boston’s other highly desirable neighborhoods including the historic North End, prestigious Back Bay, as well as a close proximity to the downtown business district.

Residents of the Seaport neighborhood will enjoy beautiful waterfront views and lots of great neighbors with the Boston Aquarium, the beautiful new Convention Center, and the Institute of Contemporary Art. From Seaport, you will have easy access to the ferry to Cape Cod, the gorgeous and historic harbor islands, and Logan International Airport.

Boston's Seaport District Luxury Real Estate

New residential and commercial developments ensure that this neighborhood will only continue to grow and develop. Inhabitants will be able to walk to work, visit all the other fabulous Boston neighborhoods, find lots of great entertainment venues, and dine in some of the city’s top restaurants.

Heartland Robotics, Inc. has announced that they will be relocating their corporate headquarters and product development efforts to Boston’s Fort Point Channel area. The Cambridge-based company recently raised $20 million in financing, moving into an expansion phase requiring more office space.

Heartland is developing a new generation of robots, built to improve productivity in manufacturing environments. They are moving forward in developing their products and expanding their team in an aggressive manner according to president and CEO, Scott Eckert.

They have chosen the Innovation District as the new headquarters location because of everything the area has to offer.

“In order to attract the world-class talent that we need, we wanted a terrific office space, in a vibrant part of the city, and easily accessible public transportation.”

-Scott Eckert, president and CEO of Heartland Robotics

Mayor Thomas M. Menino is happy to welcome Heartland Robotics to the area, calling it a “ground-breaking company that will add to vitality of the district and demonstrate how innovators and entrepreneurs in Boston are changing the world.”

As the ball dropped in Time Square, with champagne in hand, many of us looked back on the previous year, and more importantly, looked forward to the New Year ahead. We reflected on the changes we wanted (or needed) in life, and determined resolutions in order to make those changes and improve our way of life.

Now that the month of January has come and gone, it’s about that time for us to check in on those New Year resolutions we made. Now ask yourself how are they coming along.  Do you still have a sense of wanting more out of 2011? Not sure if you’ll be able to achieve those resolutions?  Maybe what you need is a change of scenery.  Perhaps a luxury condominium on the Waterfront? If so, FP3 is ready to help and support you.  In fact, here are just a few among many resolutions that can be achieved with FP3 living:

“I resolve to spend more time outdoors.”
Have you seen the Terraces at FP3? It’s where the great outdoors come to life! Spectacular views of the Boston skyline, Waterfront and Seaport neighborhood abound. And great views mean more natural sunlight! FP3 is also one block from Boston’s scenic Harborwalk, which inspires long runs and bike rides, not to mention walks with the dog.

“I need to save more money.”
FP3 still represents one of the best values in Boston. A few studios, starting at $369,000, are still available, and our 2-bedrooms and duplexes start at $679,000. Brand new, modern space for less money is a guaranteed great investment for the future.

“I promise to become more cultured and artistic.”
FP3 has its own art gallery in the Lobby of the building. Live here and you’re surrounded by local and regional artwork when you come home every day. And some of the hippest and coolest galleries in the city reside nearby, along with The Institute of Contemporary Art which is just a few walkable blocks away.

“I’ll eat better and broaden my horizons when it comes to trying new cuisine.”
FP3 is home to Barbara Lynch’s top dining and cocktailing establishments. Drink, Sportello and Menton are on the first floor of FP3, which means you can take the elevator home after dining downstairs. The accolades keep pouring in! Menton was recently named one of the Best New Restaurants in the United States by GQ and Esquire magazines.

“I want to lead, not follow what others are doing.”
The Seaport neighborhood and South Boston Waterfront have been dubbed the hottest neighborhoods in Boston. Louis opened here last year, and the area is now home to great restaurants, art galleries and public spaces. Visionaries have already realized the true potential of this area, which is within walking distance to the Financial District, and at the entrance to every major highway.

“This year, I vow to entertain at home more.”
Our four Penthouses are perfect for entertaining family and friends in an open-concept living area. Arclinea kitchens here are designed by Hacin + Associates and chef Barbara Lynch and are equipped with Sub-zero and Miele stainless steel appliances, and outdoor terraces provide stunning backdrops for spring and summer barbecues.

“I will follow market trends more closely.”
In 2010, 28 homes were sold at FP3. Given current market conditions, on-going demand and interest in FP3, and growth opportunities forecasted for the Seaport area, we anticipate another successful year for FP3. 

Resolve to Live FP3 today!

South Boston’s Waterfront Fort Point neighborhood in the Seaport District has opened an additional six restaurants, two stores, a gallery, and a salon since the beginning of 2010, prompting Metro Boston to name it the city’s ‘Hottest Neighborhood of the Year.’

The once-barren South Boston neighborhood has blossomed with these new additions, adding to the already popular Barbara Lynch restaurants Sportello and Menton, as well as the FP3 Gallery that regularly rotates artist exhibits. Every Thursday night, the Institute of Contemporary Art offers a chance for patrons to enjoy free music along the waterfront; another advantage of the artistic environment of the neighborhood.

The district boasts more than 17 million square feet of new residential and commercial space that is currently under development, including a 24-acre parcel known as Seaport Square.

“The South Boston Waterfront is emerging as Boston’s newest destination for many reasons, including the artistic community, cultural and culinary destinations, and the proximity to downtown and Boston’s Harbor”

-Danielle Pillion of the Friends of Fort Point Channel

Boston’s newest skyscraper, the $550 million Atlantic Wharf, is adding to the transformation in progress along the Waterfront and is part of Boston’s newly dubbed ‘Innovation District.’ The Atlantic Wharf development will offer restaurants, residences, boating tours, and cultural institutions. Among these amenities, there will be four restaurants including two fine-dining options, a couple of casual lunch spots, and a coffee shop, and an abundance of office space.

This will most likely be the last large property built on the downtown side of the city’s Waterfront, at least for some time. Mayor Thomas M. Menino has restricted the size of buildings along the waterfront in an effort to transform the Fort Point Channel into a recreational waterway as an entrance to the Innovation District.

Boston’s new ‘Innovation District’ includes the Fort Point Channel and Boston Waterfront areas, designating the district as an urban setting to test new technologies that will fundamentally change the ways residents, workers, and visitors interact with the environment, while saving it at the same time. Mayor Menino calls the project a “cornerstone” of the city’s efforts to create the transformation by adding start-up companies that provide citizens with new job opportunities with a range of skill levels.

“A new approach is called for on the Waterfront – one that is both more deliberate and more experimental…  The massive expanse of the South Boston Waterfront, with its existing knowledge base, opportunity for growth, and world-class infrastructure is ripe to produce world-class products and services.”

-Mayor Thomas M. Menino

The 31-story complex is within walking distance of  FP3′s Residences, Restaurants, and Gallery. The addition of the Atlantic Wharf development is just another great bonus to living in the Fort Point Neighborhood.

If you’re interested in living in this exciting new district contact FP3 to tour our loft-style condos, terrace homes, and penthouse residences.

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. “
