Residential Developments in Kendall Square

Tuesday, May 4th, 2010


Living Room - Watermark Cambridge

Kendall Square, home to MIT, has long been known as the center of biotechnology and computers.  There are more Nobel Prize winners living per square foot than any other area of the world.  Kendall Square is the home to companies such as Genzyme, Microsoft and Google as well as many start-ups.

Centrally located between Harvard square and Beacon Hill Kendall Square is 5 minutes away from the best museums, restaurants, and nightlife Boston and Cambridge have to offer.

Seeing potential in Kendall Square’s location and industry developers, with the city’s encouragement, have began to build more residential projects in the area.  Two notable projects I recently visited are Third Square and The Watermark.  Both are brand new modern buildings offering luxurious finishes and amenities.  Both feature a fitness center, 24 hour concierge and lounge but  they come in very different packages.

The Watermark is a LEED Certified Green building.  All the appliances are Energy Efficient.  The paints and finishes used in the building emit dramatically fewer VOC’S (volatile organic compounds) than traditional finishes.  The carpets are free from formaldehyde, a substance used to make most carpets stain resistant.  These factors make for superior indoor air quality.  The tower boasts amazing views of Boston’s skyline and the Charles River.  From the sunny apartments one can see the sailboats and the esplanade.  At night the buildings light up the skyline.

Third Square is designed in a courtyard formation.  Two fitness centers and an indoor lap-pool overlook the sunny, beautifully landscaped courtyard.  The building’s low-rise massing, and mixed-use of retail and residential create a really strong  community.  In the summer the residents enjoy barbecuing in the shade.  The courtyard provides a little oasis from Kendall’s urban atmosphere.

If you are interested in taking a tour of these buildings or other full service listings please call or email me today.

One Back Bay

Friday, April 16th, 2010

The recently opened apartments at One Back Bay are amazing with the best building ameneties you can find in the city.  Located on the corner of Clarendon and Stuart Street, One Back Bay sits on prime real estate. Steps to Newbury Street’s boutiques and a short walk to Tremont Street’s renown restaurants its location can’t be beat.

Aside from the location, One Back Bay boasts some of the finest finishes, fixtures and appliances.  Top of the line fixtures went into these apartments including brands such Sub-Zero, Miele, and Wolf.  No detail was left out,  I was impressed by the woodwork and shelving in the closets providing ample storage.  The master bathrooms are appointed with his and her vanities, glass standing shower and tub.

The most alluring aspect of this building would have to be the light and views.  Being the tallest residential tower in Back Bay allows for some of the best views of Boston.  Residents can also enjoy the view from the roof-top terrace from Spring to Late Fall.

If you would like to schedule a tour of One Back Bay or hear about some of our other listings please call or email me anytime.

Why You Should Invest in Boston ‘Green’ Buildings.

Friday, December 11th, 2009


macallencondominiums

As a real estate agent and a LEED Accredited Professional people often ask me “Why should I invest in a ‘Green’ Building?”  Aside from the growing trend to go green there are many other reasons to invest in a LEED certified building. In order to achieve Water efficiency LEED credits builders install low-flow showers, toilets and sinks.  They also use native plants in landscaping reducing the use of potable water in irrigation.  As a condo owner much of the condo fees go to water usage.  In the years to come you can expect your condo fees to remain lower than other non-green buildings.

The same principle of reduction applies to all of the energy usage of the building.  This goes beyond energy efficient light bulbs.  All of the heating, venting, air conditioning, and mechanical equipment are state of the art and designed to reduce energy use, noise and pollution.
The best way to reduce the energy from mechanical equipment is to reduce the need for mechanical ventilation.  Green buildings are meticulously designed to allow natural light and natural ventilation, further reducing energy costs.    These are things that cannot be put on a listing sheet it simply must be experienced. Special attention is paid to air quality in a LEED building.  Everything from paint, to carpet, to the construction process has to meet the most stringent standards.  With asthysma on the rise and stories of mold in new construction one cannot put a price on the piece of mind and security from a LEED Certification.
In the end the LEED certification process builds green buildings but also much higher quality product.  The cost of construction for Green Buildings is much higher but in the end the cost of ownership will be much less.
In Boston we are fortunate to have two LEED Certified Buildings. The Clarendon and The Macallen Building.  If you have any questions about LEED Certification or green buildings or if you are interested in buying Real Estate please don’t hesitate to contact me.

The Clarendon, Back Bay’s Newest Green Luxury Tower

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009


Aerial View, The Clarendon, One Back Bay

Robert A.M. Stern became famous for his signature modern-traditionalist style.  Stern was a pioneer in the post-modern movement.  An architectural style and attitude which brought the warmth and charm of traditional architecture to modern construction technology.

Stern was the perfect choice to design Back Bay’s first luxury residential tower.  The Clarendon sits on a previously underdeveloped parking lot diagonally across from The Prudential Tower.  Stern uses the massing of the building and uses Back Bay’s traditional brick to stitch together the neighborhood.  The magnitude of this 32-story tower is mitigated by Stern’s careful attention to scale, proportion and material.  The massing of the building was also studied to help alleviate the wind tunnel effect from the neighboring Prudential.   The ground floor houses a popular bar and a post office which helps to extend the neighborhood and nightlife of Back Bay.

The Clarendon is also one of very few ‘green’ residential towers in the nation.  Deciding to go green can add significantly to the construction cost but the trade-off is a safer, better quality, longer lasting and more comfortable building.  Building a green building means not only using recycled materials and using energy efficient appliances but also following stricter health and air-quality standards.

The building has both condominiums and rentals units available at One Back Bay. They are appointed finest finishes and appliances and boast luxurious amenities.  There are many different floor plans to fit a variety of lifestyles.  The location and height of the building grant it some of the best views of Boston and provide ample natural light. A world famous architect, prime location and green construction insure The Clarendon will remain one of Boston’s most desired addresses for decades to come.

As the Fan Pier Devlopments start to rise in the skyline along with the iconic Contemporary Arts Boston and the massive convention center. You can see this will be a booming area.The fort Point Channel has been attracting celebs like Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz to some of the new hot spots like Barbara Lynch’s a South Boston native new bar Drink and Cafe Sportello. Also the $500 million Atlantic Wharf is on its way to completion. South Boston also continues to buzz with cool new Condos like FP3 Boston with condos starting at $300K. I will continue to watch and report on this emerging market.
