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.”

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.

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!

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.

Some exciting improvements to the Harbor Walk and a whole slew of new restaurants are making the Seaport a 24/7 destination. A new Smith & Wollensky’s and Jody Adams’ Trade restaurants will open in the ground floor of Atlantic Wharf, with plenty of outdoor seating along the Harbor Walk.

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
