2007 has seen a fair amount of action at one of the luxury anchor properties in the South End, Atelier 505. 11 units sold in the building, 2 are currently for sale, and 1 is under agreement – a steady 15% turnover rate in the 103-unit building.
Price per square foot (of the sold properties) in the building ranged from $690 to $982, quite a large range, accounted namely by inclusion of parking and outdoor space in some units versus others.
More information can be found on the two available units in the attached PDF file (see Atelier 505 available units 3.36 MB). Additionally, we have recently posted further background information on the South End ultra-luxury development on the following page: South End Atelier 505.
