Industrie Lofts Chelsea
Industrie Lofts in Chelsea is a new loft development located at 950 Broadway in
Chelsea, MA. Seems like a lot is going on in Chelsea lately….just this weekend we put a post up on the all new Forbes Park Lofts which are over in Chelsea on the water.
Industrie Lofts is a 3 story, 36 unit loft building.
Price: $200K – $350K
Industrie Lofts is Boston’s next generation green loft development. These units are the future of loft living with design and construction by Mario Marchio and Leo Schiavuzzo of Domani Design + Architecture (ITALY-USA).
There is no other project that exists in Boston today that can even compare at this price point!
Units include: indoor parking, 20 ft ceilings, spa baths with steam showers, custom domani lacquer cabinets, granite, stainless steel, water stained concrete floors, huge glass, private balconies.
On-site amenities include: An Italian cafe with artist lounge, dry cleaning pick-up/drop-off service, UPS shipping store, possibly a Yoga studia, and carshare car. There is also a 3000sf common roof deck with Boston views.
Industrie Lofts are located minutes from airport, downtown, and public transportation. Units range in size from 950sf to 1600sf with pricing from $215k to $340k. This is truly one of a kind and will not last at these prices.
Thanks for the blog guys. I appreciate it. See you guys on Wednesday.
Anytime. Look forward to touring your project this week!

Toured the Industry Lofts during the Chelsea Art Walk. I liked some of the spaces, corner ones, but whoever picked out the cheap Ikea Red, Black and Blue plastic cabinets needs to rethink them. At $295K or more for some of those units I would expect much nicer quality cabinetry. In addition, couldn’t they have splurged a little for a counter depth refrigerator? The refrigerator is so huge it overwhelms everything else.
The bathroom sizes are terrific, but with all that space you would have thought they could’ve put in an oversize tub. Instead they put in standard size tubs that seem dwarfed by the size of the room. In addition, the plastic spacepod shower looks cheap and is scary. If I were in the market (and you never know, I’ve been looking), I would have them immediately rip out all the finishes and put in better quality stuff.
The place has potential to wow but the units really feel like they ran out of money and put in what they could afford to get them useable and on the market.
As a first time visitor to the property I must say that I disagree with a few points listed above, although the bathrooms are a bit overwhelming in size. I believe the standard size shower / bath is right in place along with the additional “Spa” shower which if you research are far from cheap, those exact units go for a few thousand alone, if its something you are not use to than they may seem “scary” but none the less I was most impressed and the bathroom space can easily be utilized with proper design and furnishings to make it your own,
The cabinetry is def not from Ikea although I can see how someone would make that mistake if they frequent the Ikea store / shop. The high lacquer look of the cabinets may not appeal to all and this I agree with but they add a clean look without coming across as cold but rather warm and inviting. I believe the cabinets were custom made as were many other aspects of the design(s).
All in all despite the few aesthetic changes some may want to make, they seem far from rushed and the space was utilized to its full potential and was well thought out. My main concern would be that this is such a beautiful design with great structure and and your modern day architecture that you would expect to see in a more viable part of MA. Chelsea is a high crime area and although inprovements have been made and the area is not unsafe it is still something to think about for families at this price range, for young professional however I believe the opposite is in place if more where to purchase and move in than the demographic would began to change slowly but surely and Industrie Lofts allows this opportunity to take place.
All in all 4out of 5 stars for design, style, quality, structure, size and price.
Recommended if in the market for a new place and this will be similar to what we saw with the drug ridden south Boston are’s – 7 years ago you couldn’t give a condo away now people are paying half a million to move into a box size studio apartment and I believe Chelsea is next on the list as an up and coming city with the likes of East Boston.
