Michael DuGally and his wife, Kellie, searched for years for the right home. They bought a loft in Everett but decided the neighborhood was too gritty. Boston condos were too pricey. They thought about building a house - a 4,000-square-foot “palace,” as Michael DuGally put it - but discarded the idea. Yards and bugs are not their thing.
Recently, they found a fit. At the mall.
The DuGallys are among the suburban pioneers snatching up units in “Nouvelle at Natick,” a newly rising condominium complex where residents will be able to ride an elevator to a private hallway leading directly into the faux-birch-tree-lined atrium of the Natick Mall, recently expanded and renamed the Natick Collection. Their $1.6 million, 2,200-square-foot penthouse overlooking JCPenney, the DuGallys said, suits the lifestyle they want for themselves and their Chihuahua, Jasmine.
“You just don’t see malls like this,” said Kellie DuGally, 37, owner of an online sales company in Hudson, who plans to convert one of the penthouse’s three bedrooms into a closet for her clothing and shoes. “It’s like you’re in a luxurious hotel.” Continued…

A penthouse unit at a South End condo complex is on track to fetch over $4 million, a record-shattering deal for the neighborhood that underscores the strength of Boston’s luxury market, real estate executives say.
The sale of the 5,456-square-foot unit atop the Savoy on Washington Street is on track to close next week, confirmed Ricardo Rodriguez, a Coldwell Banker broker working on the deal.
The unit was on the market for more than $4.9 million when it was put under agreement, though Rodriguez declined to say what the final selling price will be. Continued…

The 1850 (previously known as SOHA Lofts) has been rebranded and ready to launch. SOHA lofts which was supposed to come on the market about 18 months ago got shelved for a little bit…but now it looks like The 1850 is ready for action.
The developer for The 1850 is Cresset Develompent here in Boston. They are a mixed use developer that recently completed condo projects in Cambridge and Lincoln Plaza, a very successful new loft conversion in the Leather District.
The 1850 is located on Albany Street (although I believe it has a Wareham Address). More information on The 1850 coming soon!
If your interested in getting more information on The 1850 now, please contact us right away..

The $400 million residential and retail development over the Massachusetts Turnpike between Kenmore Square and Fenway Park has scaled back on total number of condo units.
The original plans included 688 residences, which was cut to 353 in August of this year. In the newest plans, a 264 residences will be constructed as part of a 1.29 million-square-foot village over the Massachusetts Turnpike between Beacon Street and Brookline Avenue. In this new version, One Kenmore will include three buildings totaling 7, 13 and 17 stories. The project will include 350,000 square feet of commercial space and 1,360 parking spaces.
According to Banker & Tradesman:
One Kenmore, the long-delayed $450 million urban village in Kenmore Square that would connect Boston’s Fenway and Audubon Circle neighborhoods, has shrunk to accommodate the new reality [of a slower real estate market].
Under the latest version, 264 apartment or condominium units will be built as part of a 1.29 million-square-foot mini-city over the Massachusetts Turnpike between Beacon Street and Brookline Avenue.
This is not the first time the project’s housing units has been trimmed. In January, the plan included 688 residential units. But by August, as home sales in the Bay State continued to plummet, the number was trimmed to 353.
More on One Kenmore Condos comings soon!

Chef Barbara Lynch’s new restaurants, under construction in a luxury condo project on Congress Street in the emerging Fort Point neighborhood, don’t have names yet and won’t be taking reservations before next spring.
But the 15,000-square-foot complex will be a place to eat like foodies in this city have never seen before.
The $7.5 million project will include a fine-dining restaurant, a casual restaurant, a bar, private dining rooms, and a retail chocolate shop and bakery, all of which will be supported by dozens of cooks working round-the-clock in spacious cutting-edge kitchens.
“She’s building the Starship Enterprise”, said Richard M. Griffin, vice president for acquisitions of Berkeley Investments Inc., the development firm building the FP3 residential project that will feature Lynch’s new facility. Continued..

The eight story, 106,000 square-foot, office building will be converted into approximately 65 luxury loft-style condominium units and 10,000 square feet of retail. 285 Columbus was built in the 1920’s.
Residents will enjoy great views, high ceilings, and beautiful unit finishes. They will also have access to parking, the Back Bay Station, and Copley Square Mall.
