Luxury Boston Waterfront Condos

March 29, 2007 By

Boston never ceases to amaze, as the craze for ultra luxurious living options continues to mount in Boston, especially along the Waterfront. The InterContinental Residences and Battery Wharf Condos are no slouches when it comes to catering to your every desire.

The Battery Wharf Condos are back on track for 2007 completion, and they are looking nice – especially considering its full service spa and on-site chef! It’s been said that these condo / hotel combinations (Battery Wharf being affiliated with the Regent Boston hotel) highlights service as part of a living environment (at a cost though).

From great Boston Harbor views to luxury hotel amenities at your fingertips, Boston is pushing the $1,000 per square foot mark with The InterContinental Residences, which are built on top of the new InterContinental Hotel on Boston’s Waterfront near Fort Point Channel.

InterContinental Boston Residences

Is Boston simply trying to catch up with New York? A recent Boston Globe article called The Manhattanization of Boston quotes the following:

“The Boston market typically tracks the New York market by a three- to four-year delay, says Brian Fallon, developer of the new InterContinental Boston Hotel and Residences at the InterContinental, which opened in November. It is really only this last round of projects that have had a fully edited, refined design sense relating to the interior, coupled with full services akin to a five-star hotel.”

It’s great to see so much development happening all across the city, the investment into beautification of undeveloped and/or distressed areas fuels positivity – at MassInc’s most recent Real Talk forum, Boston Police Commissioner Davis spoke about “order” in a community, and the positive effects of that, and these Boston condo developments assist in fostering that order.

South End Condos – Weekly Sales Statistics

March 26, 2007 By

It appears the market for South End Condos made a 30% jump week-on-week, as the South End saw a total of 10 properties go into sold status this past week, versus 7 from the week before. Here are the details for this past week:

Lowest Price: $245,000

The slight trend down in Average Days on Market could mean that we are entering the Spring / Summer housing press…or perhaps, it is simply a function of sellers giving concessions on their sales to listing price, which trended slightly down to 97%. We’ll see what happens in the upcoming weeks.

West Canton Condos – Boston's South End

March 18, 2007 By

West Canton Street in the South End of Boston is a quiet tree-lined street that sits at the South End’s entrance to the Back Bay and has seen a tremendous amount of renovation investment since 2006 – a host of brownstones have been gutted and rehabbed, and several single-family townhomes have been entirely renovated.

At any one time, the four blocks of West Canton Street that run from Tremont Street on the south, and the Northwest Corridor on the north, have several condos for sale – be that a renovated townhome, an exquisite duplex, or a penthouse floor-though with gorgeous views of the city.

Condos on West Canton give you neighborhood feel, while being right on the city’s doorstep in proximity to big city life – Boston West Canton Condos.
