Boston – Lovejoy Wharf Sales Underway

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!

BY TOM ACITELLI Curbed.com
Related Beal

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).

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.

Studs To Shingles – Provincetown New Construction

 

Spring is here and with that the pace of building and renovation is at full speed.  Every year between late March and June the wonderful sounds of saws and hammers and contractors trucks is comforting especially to those year rounders who anxiously await summer’s return. I will continue updating you on all the commercial projects that are in the works and occasionally comment on interesting and visible private projects, always being aware of privacy concerns.

 

The development at 350 Bradford Street, at the old Michael Shays property.

More going on at the former Michael Shays Restaurant property at 350 Bradford Street. The building has been demolished and there is an amazing retaining wall being built at the back of the property. One of the buildings on the west end of the complex is going up already! Hopefully we will see some marketing information soon….and Ill keep you posted. Developer Chris Wise plan calls  for the construction of 13 units, contained in six duplexes and one single-unit residence.

 

 

Lovely and iconic 82 Commercial Street sold last May for $2.350M. It looks like they are doing a full landscape/hardscape revision. You can watch the progress all spring while getting your sandwiches at Relish.

Past marketing Remarks: Offered on the public market for the first time since it was built in 1820, this showplace has only had 3 families own it in the past 100 years. This classic Cape Cod home, with its sweeping lawn & white picket fence, is an iconic property in Provincetown’s West End, one of a very few that boast this square footage on almost a 1/4 acre of land, in the heart of the historic district. The house has been impeccably restored to its original grandeur, and all of its core infrastructure has been brought up to date.

 

76 Commercial Street, sold for $720K last July. It is a  three bedroom two bath condo with 2,225 square feet.  They have gutted the first two floors to the studs, and raised the house to put in a new foundation.  It will be exciting to watch the renovation progress on this classic Provincetown home this spring/summer.
