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?

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.

To find out more about this amazing penthouse or any of our other fine Boston luxury condos, contact CL waterfront today.

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.
