We had the pleasure of touring one of the latest condo developments nearing completion in the South End, 700 Harrison. The six-story development with 84-units sits on Harrison Avenue in the South End, in between ArtBlock Harrison (recently opened new condo development at 735 Harrison), and several buildings down from the new D4 Police Station. The new development at 700 Harrison gets great natural light, and offers solid views of Back Bay and the greater downtown area from its north, and northeast facing units. Construction is moving along on the development, and 700 Harrison has a tentative occupancy date of September 2007. A summary of the South End condo development at 700 Harrison, as well as exclusive photos, are below.
Approximately two-thirds of the units are deemed affordable (lottery has already taken place, and none remain), which are concentrated mainly on the lower floors of the development. The remaining 30 units are being sold off at market rates (approximately $488 – $627 per square foot), and feature high-end kitchen amenities, beautiful cocoa hardwoods, and direct elevator access to garage parking (single and tandem spots available for an additional $55K and $90K respectively). HOA fees appear to be set right around 40 cents per square foot.
One-bedroom units are now sold out, and two-bedrooms remain starting at $599,000 for 1,081 square feet. Unique to 700 Harrison is a different spin on a common roof deck: All 30 units priced at market rates will be given a vestibule roof deck space, semi-private, good Back Bay and downtown views, and approximately 90 square feet, exclusive photo below.
Two commercial units, more than likely a restaurant and a cafe of some sort, will occupy the west end of the ground floor at 700 Harrison, but details are not yet confirmed. Regardless, it would be a true convenience to have a Flour Bakery type establishment setup shop so you could grab something on the way out the door for the day.
