In a rather quiet fashion, the new ultra luxury Battery Wharf condo development had its grand opening, and has seen approximately 60% of its Waterfront inventory sell (more to come on available units). Perhaps in an even less publicized manner, the once planned Boston Regent Hotel will no longer occupy the onsite hotel space at the Battery Wharf development.
It is said that due to “philosophical differences” on strategies for the project, RBW LLC, the owner of the Battery Wharf development, and Carlson Hotels Management Corporation (Carlson owns and manages the Regent brand, as well as Park Plaza and Radisson), have gone their separate ways. RBW is now in negotiations with other hotel operators to manage the new hotel space.
Battery Wharf has raised the bar in the North End Waterfront area with $1,000+ price pre square foot homes, and all of the amenities that come with such a price point. Stay tuned for more news on what hotel brand will join the luxury condos.
