Dorchester Carruth Holds Grand Opening Party

March 8, 2008 By

The Ashmont MBTA station and surrounding area is home to significant development and redevelopment these days, included in this is the mixed-use, for-sale and rental development at the Carruth, which overlooks the transit hub.

The Carruth, a Trinity Financial development, now has a model home open, and have priced their 1 through 2+ bedroom units from $269,000 to $429,000 (including parking). We received a tour of the construction site in late 2007 (see The Carruth Condo Development), and it’s great to see a transit oriented development, just south of the city, take shape.

A grand opening house party will be held Saturday and Sunday, March 8th and 9th, from 12 – 4PM each day. This will serve as our Featured Open House of the week. Please let Larry, and the whole team at the Carruth, know that you heard about the open house here on the Boston Condo Blog. Food and drinks (coffee) will be served at the event in conjunction with two of the commercial inhabitants of the building, Tavolo, and Flat Black Coffee.

Dorchester Olmsted Green Development Update

January 22, 2008 By

We’ve set a table in the geographic heart of Boston, amidst a lush, tree-filled 42 acres. Where crisp modernity meets the prestige of history. Where the enchantment of nature joins easy access to the bustle of downtown. Experience the sudden urge to come home early, to host dinner parties, to step off the treadmill and onto a path through the Arnold Arboretum. Experience Olmsted Green, Boston’s newest residential community.

Sounds appealing, doesn’t it? We recently received an update from the co-exclusive broker of one of Boston’s (Dorchester) latest developments, Olmsted Green.

Of a total of 287 townhouse condominiums being built, 19 homes are already framed and will be ready for occupancy in late spring or early summer. Of those 19, one of them will serve as a furnished model / sales center.

The developer has 6 homes listed in the Boston MLS, and 6 units in later phases already Under Agreement. Some recent exclusive development photos are at the bottom of this blog post, demonstrating the progress made over the last 3 months.

The developer touts that the amazing feature of the development is the location, being surrounded by the 65 acre Mass Audubon’s nature center, giving the Olmsted Green development a feeling of being in the country. The developer commented that they have seen giant owls, wild turkeys, and a fox on the construction site.

Sample listing information for a single family townhome, and condominium are below. For more information on the development at Olmsted Green, please contact us.

Carruth Condos in Dorchester a Relief

November 5, 2007 By

Have you heard of it? The Carruth.

Similar to 285 Columbus Lofts, a new loft-style condo development on the border of the South End and Back Bay that overlooks the Back Bay T Stop, the Carruth overlooks a major public transportation hub at the Ashmont transit station. Both developments will boast easy T access, but only one can be had for $300 per square foot – the Carruth. Pricing at the Carruth ranges from $269,000 and $379,000, including garage parking.

With the continuing upward trend in Boston condo prices, the Carruth condos in Dorchester, a Dennis Duffy design, will provide pricing relief to Bostonians like a cool glass of water on a hot day. You’re paying for a lot of things when you buy a piece of city-center Boston real estate, namely location, which is of key importance to a lot of people, however, the Carruth, at 20 minutes outside downtown, provides a great option for those who don’t want or need core downtown accommodations.

The Carruth is currently accepting reservations for a 2008 opening, use the Contact Us link at the top of this page for more information on the for sale condos.
