Boston's Lincoln Wharf

Lincoln Wharf, one of Boston’s premier luxury buildings, on TV!

When Channel 5 News decided to do a feature segment on Boston’s many “recycled” properties, buildings which have been converted from their original use rather than demolished to make way for new construction, Lincoln Wharf was an obvious choice. Built in 1901 at 357 Commercial Street in Boston to house the MTA’s generators, the building was redeveloped in 1987 to preserve the historic space and provide a unique setting for some of the city’s finest Waterfront luxury condos.

CL Waterfront Properties sold 12 listings in Lincoln Wharf last year, and has two under contract at present.

We also are proud to offer unit #405, a stunning 2 bedroom condo with large, arched windows and a renovated kitchen with a breakfast bar. Lincoln Wharf is home to some of Boston’s finest Waterfront luxury condos, and unit #405 at Lincoln Wharf is a fantastic example.

Chronicle’s feature on ‘recycled spaces’ airs Friday, March 30th at 7:30pm.

Contact CL Waterfront Properties to learn more and schedule a showing of unit #405!

New tower to house hundreds of Boston luxury condos

Skanska USA Commercial Development and Twining Properties have proposed plans for a 300-unit residential apartment tower, with an additional 25,000 square feet of retail space, to be built in the Seaport Square community. The tower, expected to be called Watermark Seaport, will be located at the corner of Seaport Boulevard and Boston Wharf Road. Watermark Seaport is just one of the proposed projects within the 25-acre Seaport Square. According to Alex Twining, CEO of Twining Properties, “Watermark Seaport will link the exciting Fort Point community to Seaport Square and the Waterfront with apartments, shops, restaurants and open space”.

The new tower is just one part of the 25 acre Seaport Square community, a cornerstone of the transformation of this once quiet section of Boston’s Seaport into the Innovation District of today, thriving and bustling with activity. The area is expanding rapidly, with plans to create many new Boston Waterfront properties in the coming years.

How Much House Does A Million Dollars Buy You?

Filed under: Boston Luxury Condos, Boston Real Estate Market, Boston Waterfront Real Estate Market, CL Waterfront Properties NEWS, Featured For Sale, Prince, Uncategorized, Waterfront Boston. • Tags: , . By

63 Atlantic Ave. #11-E

MSN Real Estate recently posed this question, along with a slideshow of some million dollar properties nationwide – you can read the article here. Carmela Laurella was featured along with her exclusive penthouse listing in the Prince building, listed at $979,000. “(With) the combination of realistically priced homes, all-time-low interest rates and improving unemployment, consumers once again have confidence and feel that it is a good time to invest in property,” Laurella said. “Additionally, we have limited inventory on the waterfront and tremendous buyer demand.”

A million dollars buys you a lot of Prince Building condo in this case. A corner penthouse with a large private balcony facing the Harbor, this is a real value among Boston waterfront properties. Inside, cathedral ceilings and maple floors await, along with floor to ceiling windows, a large kitchen with skylight, and a master bedroom with en-suite bath and breathtaking views of the Zakim bridge and historic North End.

Less Inventory Means Faster Sales – And A Stable Market

Boston's Flourishing Waterfront

Inventory of Boston luxury condos and single family homes is at an all-time low, according to MLSPIN. Low unsold inventory is a key indicator of a stable market, a welcome sign for the city. Our own Waterfront neighborhood proved to be among the strongest in Boston, with a 36% drop in available inventory since the same time last year. Overall, the city’s real estate inventory showed a 17% drop in the same time.

Listings are staying on the market for less time as a result – a 12% drop from last year citywide – and list prices are trending upward, with an aggregate 10% increase since last year. One of the key factors here is a lapse in new construction – during the low point of the recent recession, the proliferation of new residential construction came to a crawl in the heart of town. Now, with demand catching up to supply, new projects to fill the growing need for Boston Waterfront real estate are still a few years from becoming a reality for discriminating buyers.

Whether you are looking to buy or sell a Boston luxury condo, this strong market means that it is more important than ever before to work with an outstanding real estate team. To learn more about these market trends, get a professional evaluation of your property, or tour the finest available Boston luxury apartments, contact the real estate leaders at CL Waterfront Properties today.

North End Community Hopes to Acquire Buildings for School Expansion

North End Eliot School family council Petition

Eliot School Petition at NEWNC - Feb 2012

Great news for families and community members in the North End, the Eliot elementary school is getting closer than ever before to some much needed expansion in their bid to acquire the North and Richmond Street buildings up for sale.

After spending some time in a marketing period and having two-dozen developers attend property tours of the real estate, no interest has been shown for housing purposes by any of the developers.  This is a good sign for those in favor of purchasing the property in the school’s best interest.

Acquiring the buildings would greatly improve the Eliot’s capacity to accommodate an ever-expansive community, especially with a waiting list larger than its current student body.

The school expansion will also benefit the community as a whole, giving more families a reason to stay in the city, not to mention Eliot has a great reputation of being one of the best public schools in Boston.

Much credit is given to Principal, Traci Walker Griffith, for bringing the school’s academic level and achievements to where it is today. During her tenure, the school has turned around and test scores have only gone up, while other schools in the Boston public school system have closed.  With more seats available to children at the Eliot can only mean good things for the North End and Boston.

If you are interested finding your new home in or around the Boston area, please contact CL Waterfront Properties today.

St. Leonard’s Church Unveils Peace Garden Cross

Scaffolding has finally come down on the side of Saint Leonard’s church facing the Peace Garden – showing a new red Catholic cross. Excellent visibility from Hanover Street makes this new addition to the area an instant landmark, sure to boost the already high value of North End real estate. Repairs to the wall and the addition of the cross are part of a larger renovation project for the garden;  the new cross sits across from the mural painted by local artist Nathan Swain.

The mural, featuring verdant greenery in keeping with the Peace Garden overlook came first in the sprucing up of the area. Artist Swain explains: “I approached the church and I also talked to Frank the owner of Assagio. They both liked the idea of covering the blank ugly wall with something green. I had Boston Building Wraps print and install the banner.”

St. Leonard’s was the first Roman Catholic Church in New England built by immigrants from Italy, in 1873. It is located at the corner of Hanover and Prince Streets in the heart of the historic North End, just steps from the finest Boston waterfront properties.  St. Leonard’s is known for its Saint Anthony shrine in the downstairs church, the oldest shrine to the saint in Boston. The Peace Garden is known to all in the neighborhood and beyond as a peaceful retreat from the busy streets of the North End. To find out more about living in this historic part of Boston, contact CL Waterfront Properties today.
