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.

Join the Upscale Community of Boston's Waterfront and Enjoy New Art Exhibits this Fall

Fall events at the ICA Boston

Boston has a wealth of culture to offer residents, particularly in the area of contemporary and fine art. Museums, theaters and galleries decorate the streets and waterways, making the waterfront the ideal place to live for any art lover.

One of the museums easily accessible to those living in waterfront lofts in Boston is the Institute of Contemporary Art. The museum features innovative art from both established and up-and-coming artists. Galas, auctions, parties and invite-only exhibitions are held throughout the year for museum supporters and members of the art community.

On Oct. 28, 2011, the museum will celebrate 75 years of contemporary art in Boston. An annual gala that many call the best social experience in the Seaport District will kick off the celebration, followed by the now famous After-Party on the Harbor.

The gala kicks off several new exhibits for the fall including the Isaac Julien: Ten Thousand Waves exhibit. Running from October 28 through March 2012, the exhibit is a unique multimedia experience. Nine large video screens provide three interwoven stories, taking visitors from China’s past to the present.

For those who enjoy art in a less mobile fashion, the museum also presents the Jessica Jackson Hutchins exhibit from October 28 through March 2012. In her first solo exhibit at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Hutchins presents a large sculpture called Symposion. All of the artist’s pieces are created from found objects including furniture, clothing, ceramics and paper-mache that are formed together into elaborate pieces.

The Institute of Contemporary Art also provides a number of permanent exhibits for art lovers of all types. Artists in the collection include Paul Chan, Tara Donovan, Josiah McElheny, Kelly Sherman and Rachel Perry Welty. Ongoing programs cover multiple artistic media, including sculpture, painting, film and live performances. Seminars and courses offered throughout the fall include line drawing, contemporary dance and choreography.

Outstanding Fort Point Penthouse Sales for FP3!

FP3Boston — Fri, 06 May 2011 19:45:37 +0000

FP3 had one of the season’s most outstanding sales in April, with two penthouses selling to one buyer who intends to combine the two luxury residences into one grand unit with resort-like features.

“It is one of the most expensive, combined real estate transactions in the Fort Point Boston neighborhood,” said Joseph Laurano, director of operations for ResMark LLC, the marketing and development subsidiary of Berkeley Investments Inc.

The two penthouses, Penthouse Two and Four, which sold for $3.1 million, represent a combined square footage of 4,123 square feet. That’s not including the two terraces, which separately total 1,866 square feet. All in all, this combined purchase represents one of the most luxurious Boston waterfront condo projects to date.

“My client has a design-build business, and this is his urban project,” said Jamie Curtis of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage’s South End Office, the selling broker. Plans include a hot tub and outdoor kitchen on the roof deck, among other features. This project is a milestone for the Fort Point Boston neighborhood, solidifying its viability as a genuine destination for luxury living in Boston.

The two penthouses represent half of the top floor of the building. Uninterrupted views offer panoramic cityscapes in three directions, offering breathtaking perspective on the Financial District, Atlantic Wharf, the Intercontinental and Independence Wharf. To the East, Harbor Towers, the Tobin Bridge, Liberty Wharf and the Boston Harbor frame the elegant skyline.

“This is a strong endorsement for FP3 and this terrific neighborhood,” Laurano said. “This sale also places FP3 at 80 percent sold. Two penthouses, several three-bedroom units and a duplex remain.” Click here to view virtual tours!

Major New Boston Development Projects Moving Forward in Fort Point Neighborhood

FP3Boston — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 16:00:59 +0000

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
