We Love Our ‘Hood
In the news yet again….we were mentioned recently in an article published by Banker & Tradesman discussing the future of the Fort Point neighborhood, particularly targeting the much anticipated completion of the FP3 building.
In a rather negative light, the article reflects sales in the newest condominium development in the Fort Point neighborhood as slow due to overpricing and the lack of a neighborhood feel as new construction in this yet-to-be-up-and-coming section of Boston pushes forward toward continued development.
They claim that the units are too pricey in an emerging neighborhood that lacks a supermarket, dry cleaners, and a Starbucks.
Well… since our offices are actually right around the corner from the FP3 building, the CondoDomain crew is pleased to announce that there are in fact at least three Starbucks located in the area and while there is not yet a supermarket around the area, there are plenty of restaurants to keep us fed, and many more to come.
Speaking of supermarkets, since when is that a requirement for a neighborhood? The North End certainly does not have a supermarket, while it is close to one in Beacon Hill, it is certainly not convenient. And yes, Beacon Hill has a Whole Foods, Back Bay residents have a Shaws, but with the ease and convenience of Peapod deliveries in the city, is a nearby supermarket really a necessity?
While people have greeted this emerging neighborhood with a mixed reception, the Fort Point neighborhood undoubtedly exudes a vibrant energy as it grows into its own unique area of downtown Boston. Not only do the FP3 condos offer fabulous views of the Financial District, Seaport, Fort Point Channel, and Boston Harbor, but Barbara Lynch, of No.9 Park and B&G Oyster fame, is set to apply her signature style to the ground-floor retail and restaurant spaces.
Our own Tony Longo was quoted as saying, “I love the building and the condos are spectacular…” And we can’t help but wholeheartedly agree.
We are huge fans of this property, and as such, are continuing to place buyers there. The Fort Point neighborhood is an exciting place to be now and holds an even greater promise for the future. Some may think that this area has a long way to go…but there is no question that the Fort Point is well on its way, and the FP3 building is playing a large part of that.

[...] Thirsty? Grab a Drink! Drink, the brand-new uber cool lounge has opened up in the FP3 as part of Barbara Lynch’s highly anticipated trio of restaurant concepts in this new luxury loft building in Boston’s Fort Point Channel. We were lucky enough to take a tour last week and speak with some of the Drink staff. Apparently, seat 1917 is the best because you can see your friends walk in and there is plenty of room to have a group around you while you sip in these intoxicating concoctions. As you can imagine, we get very excited something new opens in our ‘hood! [...]
