Have you finished your spring cleaning for the year and now have a huge pile of things that you want to get rid of? Or have you realized you have more space in your Boston condo for more furnishings? If you answered yes to either, or both, of these questions then you need to attend the first-ever Fort Point Yard Sale! Now you can get some new, inexpensive local décor for your new Boston luxury condo.

This weekend, the Fort Point Arts Community and Fort Point Neighborhood Association are teaming up to bring this great community event to the residents [and their friends!] of Fort Point, Boston. The event will be held at the corner of A and Iron Streets – Channel Center parking lot – this Saturday, June 4^th from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Come see what the “Yard Sale” has to offer and get a sense of the great community that surrounds FP3.

Contact an FP3 representative to learn about the multitude of other features that FP3 condos and the entire Fort Point neighborhood have to offer. If you’re interested in being a vendor at this event email fortpointyardsale@gmail.com.

This past weekend, the skies cleared and temperature rose giving Bostonians a little bit of hope that summer really is just around the corner. The city was bustling as residents got out and enjoyed the nice change of weather. From Boston’s waterfront condos, white sails could be seen floating along the harbor as people took advantage of a free sailing open house at the Boston Sailing Center. Each boat was captained by an experienced sailor, and tourists and Boston residents alike had the opportunity to take the helm or sit back and enjoy a sail on the Boston Harbor.

This picturesque scene is just one of the many benefits of the luxury waterfront condos at FP3.

Warm weather is finally here, and with it, an easy walk from FP3 to Boston’s Financial District. You can get from FP3 to any office in the Financial District in a matter of a few minutes, and not only can you enjoy a walk outside in this great Boston weather, it’s also one of the best things you can do for your health on a regular basis.

Moderate exercise – even as little as thirty minutes a day – can reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and more. It can be hard to find time to fit a workout into your busy work week, so why not take advantage of the weather and commute on foot? Take the stairs and you can easily make a short walk downtown from the Seaport district take fifteen minutes. It may not seem like much, but that amount of exercise ten times a week will pay off fast!

Spring weather also brings with it relief from the “winter blues” – thanks in large part to vitamin D from increased sunshine. Soak it up on your way to and from the office and watch your mood improve! Moderate exercise has been proven to reduce stress and depression, so couple that with the positive effects of a little sunshine and your walk to work can set the tone for a happy, productive day and a relaxing night at home in your Fort Point condo!

FP3 was mentioned today in a fantastic Boston Herald Seaport Boston District article talking about all the great new restaurants and other exciting activities happening right now in the Seaport District.

Yesterday, on Monday March 14^th, Mayor Thomas M. Menino announced that five important development projects for Boston moved forward in the review process at the Boston Redevelopment Authority board hearing on Sunday night. The projects will bring about 2,700 full and part time jobs and almost $437.6 million of private investment to the City of Boston. One of these projects will be located in the Innovation District, which will hopefully encourage more people to look for Boston luxury apartments and Boston luxury condos so they can get in on the action.

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

The Boston Marine Industrial Park (BMIP) is a 191-acre industrial park located on the southeastern edge of the South Boston port-area. It is the largest Boston industrial park, encompassing more than 3.3 million square-feet of leasable building area lying less than one mile from the heart of downtown Boston and Logan International Airport. BMIP contains an active dry-dock, benefits from 9,300 linear feet of shoreline, and offers direct accessibility to transport by water, air, rail, and highway, providing excellent benefits for those living in FP3 condos and Boston waterfront apartments.

In August, Governor Deval Patrick signed the Harbor Line Exemption legislation as part of the Watersheet Activation Plan, turning Boston’s once-industrial Fort Point Channel into a “Boston Common on the water.” The channel will have floating restaurants and cafes, venues for public events, and docks for boating and canoeing.

The beautiful Fort Point Channel will be transformed into a booming district

The legislation lifts a ban on structures and non-navigation activities that was set by the existing Harbor Line, which is an established line within the area of a harbor. Within the Fort Point Channel, this includes the full width of the channel up to the seawalls; the exemption from the line will allow a number of water-based facilities that would otherwise be prohibited.

Over the next several years the Channel is expected to become another booming district of Boston as a result of these new additions. There will be an improvement in public access to the Channel, with boating programs and Channel walks that will turn the now unused waterway into a more social and active space.

“The Fort Point Channel’s unique blend of modern and historic characteristics makes it an important part of Boston’s evolving culture.”

-James E. Rooney, executive director of the MCCA and president of the Friends of the Fort Point Channel.

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.

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

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.
