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.

Nestled in the Seaport District, Del Frisco’s offers spectacular harbor and city views complete with expansive waterfront patio dining area and an extraordinarily impressive circular bar that is busy every night of the week! The grand entrance brings guests through the stylish main dining room, flanked with deep lush booths, white linen, and private and semi-private dining rooms for any special occasion.

The restaurant, located at Liberty Wharf, boasts an extensive award-winning wine list and a refined hospitality that is surpassed by none. The wines are as bold and tempting as the magnificent menu selections that feature prime steaks of all types and the freshest seafood.

With the holidays just around the corner, and if you happen to live nearby, dedicated private dining coordinators are available to assist guests in planning and personalizing any event for a memorable dining experience.

And, to think, if you lived in a Boston loft or a premier penthouse just a few blocks from the restaurant, you could actually walk to Del Frisco’s…everyday!

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.

More developments are on the way for the Boston Waterfront that will continue to transform the neighborhood around FP3 into the hottest spot in town.

Construction is set to begin on Pier 4 next year to draw more activity to the Waterfront with the addition of a 21-story tower that will boast 357 apartments, retail stores and an underground parking garage near the Institute of Contemporary Art.

Already new restaurants and bars at Liberty Wharf are generating lines out the door. And although the historical restaurant Anthony’s will be taken down, it may reopen again on the property in the future.

Boston’s Waterfront is a Popular Destination Year-Round!

A recent article in the Boston Herald discussed how the MBTA Silver Line has experienced huge increases in ridership due to the newfound popularity of Boston’s waterfront.

Legal Sea Foods’ CEO Roger Berkowitz commented on Boston’s waterfront saying that the “streets were teeming with people as if the Tall Ships were in town.”   Berkowitz is not the only one noticing the growing popularity of Boston’s Seaport District as one of Boston’s most exciting destinations for residents and tourists looking  for  great dining, shopping, and cultural actives.

The area’s increasing popularity is also reflected in much of the high end commercial and residential development happening in the area.  Luxury loft condos, like FP3 Boston, are reminiscent of localized cultural explosions seen in New York’s SoHo neighborhood.  Art exhibitions, posh restaurants, and exciting nightlife make Boston’s Seaport District the newest, hottest part of the city!

More than a dozen eateries along the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway kicked off their summer cookin' just after Memorial Day.

The best thing about living in Boston is that there’s always something new and exciting cooking just around the corner and the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway is no exception.

The smells of delicious foods from carts and mobile eateries along the Greenway stretch can be detected from the North End to Chinatown; a welcoming sensation for any food fan! And as it turns out, a few restaurateurs have caught wind of this booming eatery scene and want in on the action.

With the public park just a short walk across the bridge from us at FP3, this is very good news, especially for FP3 Residents with an appetite for great food.

Georgia Murray, chairwoman of the Greenway Conservancy, recently told the Boston Globe, “Great restaurateurs want to go where the people are. And more and more people are along the Greenway.”

Among the many restaurateurs venturing towards our Seaport neighborhood is blue-haired chef and Hell’s Kitchen contestant, Jason “Jay” Santos with his restaurant, Blue Inc. It will have a featured sidewalk patio with a great dining view of the Greenway’s lush gardens and foliage. In the evening, Jay will be serving up his signature crispy duck confit over mango sticky rice with hoisin cashew glaze, which sounds amazing. And for the lunch crowd, he will have a burger bar cooking with butterscotch and black truffle milkshakes, which sounds even more amazing.

Another expert chef, Jody Adams, will be opening her next big restaurant called Trade on the Greenway in the new Atlantic Wharf building as well.

It certainly is going to be an exciting summer filled with tasty foods and new restaurants.

If you’d like to know more about all the great food that the Greenway has to offer, check out our past blog article, Who’s Hungry? Dozen Food Vendors Returning to Greenway, and the latest Boston Globe article, Greenway Gets Cookin’. There’s no better time than now to Live FP3.

Our Penthouse #1 kitchen was featured in a Boston Herald article with video of expert chef, Ben Robinson, giving his take on some of the best luxury building kitchens from around the city.  Here’s what the Boston Herald and Chef Ben had to say about ours:

With Arclinea cabinets, Silestone counter tops, Bosch, Miele and Sub-Zero appliances, Penthouse 1 at FP3, listed for $1.65 million, would make any foodie feel like a winner.

Chef Ben says, “Good lighting around the stove is key, and this home features lights in the overhead vent hood as well as an exhaust system with different levels of draw. Combine that with a five-burner gas stove, double ovens and an oversized refrigerator that blends into the cabinetry and you have a cooking area any professional would love.”
