Condolicious NorthPoint, So Delicious

By Erica Farthing 7 11 2008

In the recent months, I have heard a lot about the NorthPoint project and just yesterday, I was able to tour the site personally. Of course, it is my job to be in the know of all of the Boston condo developments, and because I love my job, touring a new condo project made my day!

The very gracious and informative Elsbeth Pratt, who manages the marketing for NorthPoint, gave our very own buyers agent Thomas Cincotti and myself a personalized tour. Thanks you Elsbeth!

Located just north of the Charles River in the eastern part of Cambridge, NorthPoint is situated in close proximity to Boston’s North End, Charlestown, Somerville, and Cambridge.

As a new condo development in Boston, NorthPoint is located on a 45-acre stretch of land with plans for the addition of NorthPoint T Station on the green line, 2.2 million square feet of commercial space, 2,700 residences, and a 10-acre park. The NorthPoint vision is to create a small community within the city offering restaurants, retail, health clubs, and accessiblity to Boston and surrounding areas. This redevelopment is expected to be completed in 2012.

Currently, NorthPoint is comprised of two buildings (Sierra and Tango), both offering different condo features and options, with 27 different floor plans available. Residents have already moved in to these units and there are still condo units ready for move in!

Sierra, the smaller of the two NorthPoint buildings, has 90 units- each one a loft, with options ranging from one and two bedroom lofts, as well as a one bedroom plus den.

The condo units in Sierra feature 18′ ceilings, stainless steel appliances, large windows, and extra storage space. There is an atrium located in the center of the building, filled with green bamboo, and some units have bedroom windows that look over this atrium. Units in Sierra range from around $400K-$700K. This particular unit in Sierra is a one bedroom loft unit with built in California Closets. Very Nice!

Our next stop on the NorthPoint tour was the second building- Tango. Built in the shape of a T, Tango is 12 stories on on the end of the “T” and the long portion is 10 stories high. Units in Tango at NorthPoint range from studios, one and two bedroom options, and even a duplex option on the 9th floor featuring terraces offering spectacular views of the Boston skyline.

Units in Tango range from around $300K for a studio all the way to about $800K for a two bedroom two bathroom flat.

Among the many great features in this condo development, NorthPoint offers its residents a free parking space per unit! The lot is located right next to the buildings, and for those of you familiar with Boston, this is an amazing amenity! There is also parking available in a garage below the building where a parking space can be purchased for an extra fee.

The picture above was taken from the top floor of the “T” in the Tango building. From here you can see the 9th floor terraces and the 1st floor patios!

Thomas and I were very impressed by the NorthPoint project and cannot wait to see it progress into this mixed-use urban development. Contact us today for more information on NorthPoint.

Thanks again Elsbeth, your tour of NorthPoint was great! And thank you Thomas for your fabulous photography!

Northpoint Update: East Cambridge

By Anthony Longo 14 02 2008

As most of you know we are big fans of the Nortpoint project. Even through its troubles, time will eventually bring this great vision for East Cambridge to fruition. See recent blog posts on Northpoint here, here and here.

Just when the future of the mega-sized NorthPoint project in East Cambridge was beginning to look a little sunnier, it appears greyer skies are on the horizon for the embattled development.

Last week, the Boston Herald reported the investment company that had initially agreed to buy the NorthPoint complex may be trying to back out of the deal.

Woody McMahon, a spokesman for the Archon Group, would not confirm an attempt on his company’s part to withdraw its purchase agreement.

It’s a very difficult transaction, McMahon said. We’ve have a number of conversations with the involved parties as it relates to this transaction.

According to a Herald report, a letter sent from the Archon Group on Jan. 17 indicated the company wanted to terminate its purchase agreement with Pan Am Railways, the parent company of the Boston and Maine Corporation, and the Cambridge NorthPoint LLC. Asked about the letter, McMahon would only say the facts are incorrect. Continued…

Northpoint Condo Penthouse (East Cambridge)

By Anthony Longo 18 01 2008

On a great tour of Northpoint in East Cambridge today we saw 4 great units (1 of each style available) in the Tango building. We didnt get a chance Here is the scoop with Northpoint as far as the product goes. Each unit comes with one parking spot. The parking spot is included in the price of your Northpoint Condo however it is an outdoor spot. They have indoor spots under the building available but that would run you an additional $38k (for a compact spot) or for you people who have the Range Rovers and Suburbans your spot will be $50k on top of your condo price.

Taxes in Cambridge will run you $7.43 per thousands. Approx $3,715 annually (309/month) on a $500,000 Purchase Price

Condo Fee’s you are looking at approx 1 - 1.2% of the sales price. (Example 500k Condo = Monthly condo fee: $416 -$500 / month. Your condo fees cover the normal, heat, ac, water, insurance, etc….you just pay your own electrical to pump it all into your unit. (The Norm…)

Unit # 618 (Studio) - Price - $369k

Unit # 619 - (1 Bed+ 1Bath) - Price - $503k

Unit # 722 - (1 Bed+ 1.5Bath) Price - $518k

Unit # 914 (PH 2 Bed, 2 Bath) - Price - $679k

Overall, the product is one of the nicest for the money in Boston/Boston area hands down. Arclinea kitches, gorgeous bamboo flooring, Duravit fixtures, and decent appliances. The westerly facing units on the high floors have some views of the Charles River and the Back Bay, while the Easterly facing units look over the (soon to be built Northpoint) towards Charlestown and North.

Northpoint Condo units should be ready next month, however, they are still held up in a legal battle involving the development, we expect to see this get cleaned up in the next 60 days (hopefully)!

Northpoint Condos in East Cambridge

By Anthony Longo 3 10 2006

NorthPoint is the place to be, round the clock. By day, its East Cambridge location is at the crossroads of academic and commercial research and innovation, with easy access to hospitals, universities, downtown Boston and an expanding network of parks and paths along the Charles River. By night, it’s just across the river from all that the city has to offer, just across the bridge from historic Charlestown’s restaurants and just down the street from the diverse attractions and entertainment of Cambridge and Somerville. Whether walking or riding, you’re connected. The Community College commuter rail station is on one side of NorthPoint, the Lechmere T stop on the other…until the T opens its new NorthPoint stop right on site. By car, NorthPoints adjacent to the Zakim Bridge and Route 93, north to New Hampshire or south to the Cape. Or jump on Route 1, Storrow Drive or Memorial Drive. North Station is ten minutes by foot, Harvard Square is ten minutes by T, and Logan International Airport is just ten minutes by cab. Orange Line and Green Line , commuter rail and highway, it adds up to a perfect ten for easy access to wherever you want to go.
