Boston Round Up – From Curbed.com
Boston Real Estate This Summer
A great post by Tom Acitelli from Curbed.com – What to watch for during the next few months.
Including new development
What’s in store for the Boston area’s real estate and development?
Record prices
/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/6294671/18616-62761.0.jpeg)
Record prices for the area’s houses and, in particular, condos should continue into the summer.
It’s unlikely the big-time deals for condos at the under-construction One Dalton in Back Bay will close during the next few months, but if they do, keep an eye out for a final tag totaling $40 million—which would be the region’s biggest home sale ever.
The records will happen at a neighborhood level, too. Case in point: The big asking prices at Fenway’s under-construction Pierce Boston.
Big deals
/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/8598055/campus_1.jpg)
Speaking of big trades, deals for large tracts of develop-able (or redevelop-able) land could go through this summer.
Chief among these are a sale of the 19-acre Widett Circle site where South Boston meets the South End—unless state plans for a South Station expansion gum things up—and a sale of the eight-acre Harvard Square campus of the Episcopal Divinity School.
The latter will likely face complications due to an ownership arrangement with Cambridge’s Lesley University.
Big developments
/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/8404471/20170421_Waterfront_View_Red_Sculpture.jpg)
Continuing our bigness theme, several titanic projects could and should come into sharper focus during the next few months.
These include what would be South Boston’s biggest development in living memory, a 2.1 million-square-foot reuse of the Edison power plant (rendered); a redevelopment of the 50-acre Necco candy-making hub in Revere; and the proposed spire in place of the city-owned Winthrop Square Garage, which concern over shadows has threatened to derail.
Hubway stations
/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/7829529/Hubway4_20_282_29.0.jpg)
The City of Boston will be holding feedback sessions with the public to help decide where dozens of new bike-share kiosks will go. Brookline, Cambridge, and Somerville are also expected to add stations.
Tiniest hotel rooms
/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/8372951/yotelny1.jpeg)
The scheduled June opening of the 11-story Yotel in the Seaport District will bring the Boston region its tiniest hotel rooms.
The bulk of the inn’s 326 rooms—or “cabins,” in the chain’s parlance—will run to just 149 square feet. Corner cabins will range from 200 to 225 square feet; and there will be a 1,000-square-foot VIP suite on the top floor.
Rents down
Sure, what the heck? There are reports of the market turning in favor of tenants. But not by much.

I am reposting this Lovejoy Wharf story from Curbed.com and Tom Acitelli because it is so exciting to see it finally happening. I worked on this project pre-development at Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage oh so many years ago. So happy to see the incredible Barbara Cusack named sales director for this Related Beal development.
Lovejoy Wharf sales now underway: $750,000 and way up
Plus: new renderings!
/cdn0.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/54482731/Exterior___LJ.0.jpeg)
Sales at the 15-story, 157-unit Lovejoy Wharf building between the Zakim and Charlestown bridges are underway now. Prices range from $750,000 to north of $3,000,000; and the sizes of the units range from studios to 3-BRs.
The project is a long time coming—planning for it began during the last decade and the development almost succumbed to a lawsuit from nearby property owners as well as to a once-faltering condo market.
The building, which Robert A.M. Stern Architects designed and which Related Beal is developing, features all the usual bells and whistles, including a 24-hour concierge as well as a fitness center and a resident lounge. There is also a rooftop terrace on the 12th floor (rendered below).
/cdn0.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/8418733/Rooftop_Terrace___LJ.JPG)
What Lovejoy Wharf will not have is parking for condo owners. After much hullabaloo, the city signed off on the project with no parking included, a break with longstanding Boston policy for such projects.
The move, finalized in December 2013, made Lovejoy Wharf the first larger condo project in downtown Boston without parking for owners.
Move-ins are expected to start this summer. Barbara Cusack has been named sales director for Lovejoy Wharf (she also handled deals for the Clarendon, another Boston condo that Stern designed and that Related Beal developed).
Stay tuned for closings.
