Construction continues at the Bryant on Columbus, a new 50-unit luxury condo development in the Back Bay at 303 Columbus Avenue. If you recall, the Bryant condos will be known not just for their class and style, but for their size. Units will be built out with a minimum of two bedrooms – there is talk of including a limited amount of one-bedroom units into the layout of the building, but the development team has yet to make a definitive decision as to their inclusion.

It’s always amazing to see a mega structure rise from the ground out of nothing, and The Bryant on Columbus has that meager beginning wrapped up nicely. Slated for a June 2008 completion, The Bryant construction has been steadily progressing since it broke ground back in late 2006.

We stopped by the construction site yesterday to see work continuing on the foundation and parking garage. The Bryant on Columbus is stating that they will have rare two and three bedroom condo units in their Back Bay / South End location (the Bryant will sit on Columbus avenue on the border between the two Boston neighborhoods, just south of the Back Bay Orange Line T Stop). The number of smaller, and thus less expensive, units is still to be determined.

Can you believe it, the Bryant on Columbus condos are now built and ready for you to move in! At least that’s what this picture is showing, right? Well, unfortunately, there is still a big hole in the ground with a large crane in the middle of it….so, you can’t move in just yet, but this picture is a nice mock-up of what the development will look like in a couple of years.

The buzz is out on the streets, those being Columbus Avenue and Dartmouth – the site of one of Boston’s newest condo developments in the South End, The Bryant on Columbus. Local residents to the 50-unit mixed-use complex, which will see unusually large living areas, are perhaps doing more complaining than talking about the new complex.

Demolition and excavation has rendered structural damage for neighbors to The Bryant Condos. Imagine coming home only to find a nice crack in your ceramic tile floor…welcome to the neighborhood! Neighbors to the condo complex construction are also on a regimented sleep schedule, with a construction wake-up call beginning at 6:30 am – is breakfast being provided?

Residents in the area may chip in on the weekends to see this complex brought to fruition before its established Spring June August 2008 completion date. Stay tuned for more breaking news.
