Archive for the ‘Boston Loft Condos’ Category

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.

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!

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

Fort Point Boston welcomes 5 new restaurants set to open on former site of Jimmy’s Harborside

A culinary transformation is set to take place on the site of the former Jimmy’s Harborside Restaurant, a Boston institution that served classic seafood for eight decades. Demolished in 2007 and replaced with a new complex called Liberty Wharf, the first of five new restaurants is set to open there next week.

Each restaurant will feature outdoor seating and sweeping waterfront views for patrons to enjoy. Chefs are also promising some cutting edge cuisine and amenities to accompany their beautiful settings. Residents of Boston waterfront condos and Boston waterfront apartments should definitely check out these awesome new restaurants as soon as they open.

Upscale Mexican eatery, Temazcal Tequila Cantina, will offer menu items such as roasted suckling pig and huitlacoche, a Mexican delicacy of a truffle or fungus that grows on corn stalks, all of which can be ordered from an iPad. “Our food will do things you’ve never seen Mexican food do,” said Temazcal chef, Todd Hall, who made his name in top restaurants in Arizona before his Boston move.

The first restaurant that is set to open at Liberty Wharf is another outlet of Jerry Remy’s Sports Bar & Grill, which is scheduled to open next Wednesday, March 9. Temazcal is hoping to be open for business by the end of March, and the others, including Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steak House and a new Legal Sea Foods, plan to follow in April, while the fifth restaurant has not yet been named.

The new restaurants will have large outdoor spaces along a recently added 500-foot section of the city’s HarborWalk, as well as decks overlooking the water. There are also new docks where boaters can tie up and dine, and there is the possibility of adding sailing and fishing charters.

The new $65 million-plus development, designed by Elkus Manfredi Architects, features glass walls and wide spaces between the buildings to allow unobstructed views of the water. It also includes exotic wood finishes, including Angelique siding and a deck made of the Brazilian hardwood, cumaro.

Liberty Wharf is the latest complex to open in the ongoing transformation of the Seaport District, where Mayor Thomas M. Menino is trying to create an Innovation District, with technology and medical companies as well as modern homes and restaurants.

Each restaurant at Liberty Wharf strives to have distinctive features. Legal Sea Foods will feature a 4,300 square-foot roof deck with retractable glass ceilings and walls; Del Frisco’s is building a floor-to-ceiling wine wall, and Remy’s has a massive bank of high-definition TVs and rich walnut finishes that are considered more typical of a contemporary wine bar.

For those who live, work, and play in the Waterfront neighborhood, along the Fort Point Channel, these new restaurants are an exciting development to look into. If you’re interested in moving to Fort Point Boston, contact FP3 today. We have a lot of great Boston luxury condos and Boston lofts for you to choose from, and we would be happy to help you find your new home in Boston’s waterfront neighborhood.
