Join us Sunday, September 12th from 1pm to 3pm for our next Open House!

Take a tour of the FP3 building to learn more about the award-winning architecture and how and why Boston-based architect, David Hacin, developed the design to adaptively reuse two existing warehouse structures and one new infill building to make FP3 the ideal example of mixing the old and the new in the historic Fort Point Channel neighborhood.

The merging of old and new come to fruition in the elegant lobby and art gallery space of FP3, where the walls, ceilings panels, and custom benches were all made from salvaged Douglas Fir beams and columns from the original building.

While you’re here, be sure to take a moment to view the current art exhibit featured in the FP3 gallery, an exhibit of creatures created by artist/ print maker Vicky Tomayko, or stop by Sportello for some yummy brunch or lunch by celebrity Chef Barbara Lynch on our ground floor!

Back by popular demand!

If you missed out on our free yoga class on the terrace of the FP3 penthouse suite on June 15th, now’s your chance to have THE yoga experience of the summer!

FP3 will be hosting another FREE evening yoga class (6-9pm) on one of our penthouse terraces as the sun sets above the bustling city streets below again on Tuesday, September 14th as the second installment of Plank’s On a Roll series!

Enjoy a group yoga session followed by fresh-fruit-infused summer cocktails provided by Cold River Vodka and delicious hors d’oeuvres from Ambrosia Events and Catering.

Plank will have a pop-up store at the event, so you can grab your very own eco-friendly Plank yoga mat or one of the other lovely Plank yoga accessories, designed by the very talented Well-Heeled-Guru, Doreen Hing.

The class will once again be taught by the staff of South Boston Yoga.

The Fort Point Channel’s revitalization should be ’smooth sailing’ from this point forward!

The Harbor Line Exemption legislation (originally filed by Senator Jack Hart of South Boston) was signed by Governor Deval Patrick on August 3, 2010 as part of the Watersheet Activation Plan, which was the 2003 winner of the American Planning Association’s Massachusetts Chapter for Comprehensive Planning, proposed by Friends of Fort Point Channel, Save the Harbor/Save the Bay, The Boston Harbor Association, and the Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA).

The legislation is designed to improve public access to Boston’s Fort Point Channel through boating programs, increased water transportation, and touch-and-go-docks as part of Mayor Menino’s mission to transform the fifty acre land-and-water Fort Point area into Boston’s next great public space.  The Fort Point Channel is being touted as  the next “Boston Common”, with, of course, the added bonus of being on the water.  The Watersheet Activation Plan also calls for creative water-based uses, including small boat activities, performances, art installations, and special events and festivals, as well as public space to relax and enjoy the waterfront.

If you’ve visited the Fort Point area, you may have seen some of these goals already coming to fruition with events like synchronized sailing and various art installations on the water created by Fort Point area artists, such as the floating art installation, ‘House of Cards’ by Lisa Greenfield (photographed below).

With the passing of this legislation, you can expect to start seeing a lot more activity in the Fort Point Channel and the surrounding Fort Point area!

FP3 is proud to be part of the exciting changes that have been improving the Fort Point Channel and Boston Seaport neighborhoods.

Come see what all the buzz is about!  Stop by one of Barbara Lynch’s restaurants on our ground floor, take a tour of FP3, and become a resident of one of the most dynamic areas of Boston!

Check our Home Page for the latest announcement of upcoming Open Houses, or ‘Like’ our Facebook Page for Open House notices and information on special events hosted at FP3!  We’ve got a great schedule of events planned for the fall, so keep checking back for updates!  Recent events include art openings at the FP3 Art Gallery, Rooftop Yoga on one of our Penthouse Suite terraces, a Boston Pride Party, and more!

As you can see from the rendering of the Fort Point Channel as it appears in the Watersheet Activation Plan, the Channel will begin to see a lot more recreational boating and activities with the passing of this legislation!

Vicky Tomayko is the latest artist to be featured in the art gallery at FP3.  Her collection of creatures will be on display and free for the public to view during regular business hours until October 9, 2010.  Some of Vicky’s work appeared in today’s Boston Globe.

Vicky’s art was reviewed by Cate McQuiad for the article.  In it, Cate notes:

“Her monotypes of monstrous creatures at FP3 are both comic and melancholy, and she has a vibrant color sense. Look at the drypoint monotype “St. John the Baptist as an Artist.’’ The squishy figure is, of course, headless, and he grips to his chest a pink, heart-shaped critter with one eye on a stalk and a protruding, forked tongue. The suggestion is that this artistic St. John speaks from his heart, but even when the heart speaks, you can’t entirely trust what it says.”

(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.
