Boston Condo Sales Pick Up
Downtown Sees 30% Increase in Condo Sales
Boston’s downtown condominium market saw sales surging by 30 percent in the second quarter of this 2010 when compared with the same period in 2009, according to data released by Listing Information Network, a Boston firm that tracks real estate. The number of condos sold between April and June of last year was 653, this year it was up to 849 for the second quarter.
Sales in luxury buildings, such as FP3, offering amenities such as valet and concierge services —increased by 9 percent to 121 sales in the second quarter, compared with the 2009 quarter, according to the data.
In a recent Boston Globe report on the downtown Boston condo market, Joseph Laurano, director of operations for developers Berkeley Investments, attributed the recent sales at FP3 to a change in marketing strategy as well as improvements in the economy and continuing low interest rates. “The [FP3] building is now 60 percent sold. Folks on firm financial footing view now as an opportunistic time to purchase urban real estate.’’
If you’ve been thinking about investing in a condo in Boston, why not schedule a tour of FP3 and see what living in Boston’s Fort Point area has to offer! Live in a new Boston development, with luxury amenities close to Boston’s Financial District and waterfront. Boston waterfront condos with FHA approval are hard to find- don’t pass this opportunity up!

(styleboston) – Get Plugged In to Fort Point Channel, former industrial hub, now, home to much of Boston’s artist community. Tony Corey chats with Joanne Chang, the mastermind behind Flour Bakery + Café, the newest of which just opened in Cambridge. When Joanne Chang came to Fort Point they thought she was crazy. Now, Fort Point Channel is a creative, vibrant neighborhood, so close to downtown crossing, that on any given day it’s all abuzz.
Joanne Chang, owner of Flour Bakery
Chang isn’t the only one who’s made her home there. Barbara Lynch’s food empire is based in Fort Point, Thompson Reuters spans an entire street and, of course, ADD Inc and Rue La La brighten the skyline.
What’s most compelling about living or working in Fort Point? According to ADD Inc.’s Fred Kramer – the people. He said, on any given day, walking down the street, you’re likely to bump into another creative soul, someone who’s young, up and coming, and part of the movement. When you walk down the street in Fort Point, you mingle with artists, designers, green urban planners and a whole lot of intellectuals.
If that doesn’t get you down to Fort Point, Joanne Chang’s cupcakes will! Not only do they “taste like air” according to Tony, but most of them are Vegan! Just like the neighborhood’s credo – there’s a little bit of something for everyone.

Hub’s colorful communities
Andrew Woodward’s apartment in the FP3 condo development in Fort Point
When Andrew Woodward, 33, was displaced from his artist cooperative in Fort Point two years ago, he was scrambling to find affordable housing and studio space.
Fortunately for the painter, three affordable units were built at the luxury FP3 condo development on Congress Street, specifically earmarked for artist living. Woodward and his wife were chosen through a city lottery to purchase a unit at 50 percent of the market value.
“It is very difficult to find affordable artist housing. The Fort Point area is pretty much done with affordable housing,” says Woodward, whose wife Jessica is a furniture designer. “Artists make a difference for the vibrancy of the city.”
With Boston real estate being among the priciest in the nation, finding affordable housing and workspace is a struggle for local artists. But options exist.
Both the city and state offer resources to help artists find affordable space, and incentives to builders and artists looking to develop their own units.
The Massachusetts Cultural Council — a state organization — created ArtistLink, a Web site that helps creative types locate appropriate housing statewide, and the Boston Redevelopment Authority has a list of city spaces for rent and sale. The BRA has helped place 178 artists in recent years.
“The city of Boston recognized it had a population of artists that were being displaced,” says Jay Nagel, director of ArtistLink. “We want to serve artist populations because we think they are good for the community.”
Nagel claims Jamaica Plain, South Boston, Roxbury and Hyde Park have become hotbeds for working artists because they have been priced out of many of the downtown neighborhoods.
The Dartmouth Hotel in Dudley Square has six lofts for rent, and The Artist Lofts at Westinghouse in Hyde Park has 61 units for sale, according to city and state listings.
Fort Point Channel is the New South End, says Metro
FP3’s Fort Point Channel neighborhood “…is the South End 15 years ago,” says Joe Laurano of Berkley investments in a recent Metro article.
Melding the historical Fort Point neighborhood with a modern vibe, the FP3 building fits perfectly into this artistic up and coming neighborhood. Read more about FP3 in the Boston Metro here>>
