After opening to the public in late 2007, the D4 Police Station redevelopment in the heart of the South End now boasts resale condos for sale. The 25-unit boutique Philippe Starck building is almost sold out, with currently one developer unit remaining for sale.
The resale unit is number 11, listed at $729,000 ($914 per square foot), it is a 798 square foot one-bedroom one-bathroom condo with a small outdoor terrace and a tandem garage parking space in the below grade onsite parking garage. Condo fees of approximately $651 include heat, hot water, gas, water, sewer, master insurance, security / concierge, elevator, exterior maintenance, landscaping, and snow removal. Unit 11 is on the second floor of the four D4 condo development, on the north side, overlooking the one-way Gray Street.
Unit 11 offers essentially all the upgrades you could get in the development, including outdoor space, marble bath and kitchen, high end appliances, and parking, however, the difference in price per square foot of the unit compared to the remaining developer corner unit (number 13, a two-bedroom two-bathroom 1,426 square foot unit priced at $835,000 ($586 per square foot)) is significant. Also, there’s steep competition in the area given the recent price reductions at 285 Columbus Lofts, where an eighth floor one-bedroom one-bathroom 753 square foot unit is priced at $615,500 ($817 per square foot).
While this D4 resale condo (number 11) is superb (see pictures below), given the plethora of luxury condos in the South End available for sale, it may not be priced competitively to sell, time well tell.
