Quincy ... The Future

2009-12-10T06:05:00.001-05:00

The Next Big Urban Turnaround – Downtown Quincy

Street-Works Development Company LLC of New York has proposed a $1.4 billion plan to reinvent downtown Quincy. The Company announced that it had hired Boston’s Suffolk Construction to lead the massive build out. This transformational project calls for 680,000 square feet of offices, 590,00 square feet of stores, 1,100 residences, a least one hotel, several parking garages, and reconstruction of streets and sidewalks.

Among the components, Kenneth Narva, founding partner of Streetworks, said the firm is targeting are: a medical office complex, wellness center, retailers such as food and drug stores, and residences ranging from assisted-living units to loft-style apartments.

Street-Works is expected to soon release details about the makeup of the overall project, such as how all the elements will be designed and fit together and what kind of retailers, residents, and office users the firm will seek to attract.

A few problems still lay ahead for Street-Works. The company has to obtain multiple permits before construction can begin, which will probably not be before 2012. Also, the project team still needs to arrange outside financings. Lastly, The Quincy City Council is expected to vote on a development agreement with Street-Works early next year.

“Simply put, New Quincy Center will be the largest private investment, the largest job creator, and the largest engine for new economic growth in our city’s history,’’ Mayor Thomas Koch said.

We will continue to follow this project and provide updates when available.

The W sold for 2 Million = Newsworthy

Well not exactly Globe Street reports...

NEW YORK CITY-The W Hotel New York in Union Square, which a Dubai World unit had bought for $285 million in 2006, has sold in a foreclosure auction to one of the property’s lenders. The winning bid by 201 Park Avenue South PEH, LLC was $2 million, and the bidder also assumes $212 million in debt on the property.

9-23 Miner Street

2009-12-08T08:10:00.001-05:00

The Boston Herald Reports:

A plan for what would have been New England’s first over-55 community for gays and lesbians is facing more obstacles.

Stonewall Miner LLC, an arm of Abbott Development, was named to the city’s Top 10 list of tax delinquents for failure to pay $68,900 in real estate taxes for 23 Miner St. near Kenmore Square, where the condo complex was to be built.

Abbott and Stonewall Communities, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to build housing for gays and lesbians over age 55, planned a 53-unit development that would have filled a vacant lot and replaced a two-story building on Miner Street, between Harvard Vanguard’s Kenmore Square facility and Beacon Street near Fenway Park [map].

The one- and two-bedroom condominiums were expected to range in price from $400,000 to $700,000.

My thoughts: Sell us the land now and we will build now! Not sure what they are waiting for.... Great piece of property.

Dubai Selling Off Its Assets

2009-12-07T20:47:00.002-05:00

Globe Street reports

DUBAI, UAE-Speculation has been in the air for weeks that Dubai World many need to sell some of its prime real estate assets in order to pay down the $26 billion of debt it holds from Nakheel, the company’s real estate arm. And now, according to reports, a top government official has confirmed an asset sale could be waiting in the wings.

New Housing at Haymarket RKG Parcel

2009-12-06T17:27:00.000-05:00

Housing at Haymarket

What to do with the busy area of Haymarket? A question that will be decided soon. It looks as if the state will approve a 78-unit, 40 million dollar apartment complex over the Boston History Museum and the 137,000 square foot office building on the corner of Blackstone and North Street. This apartment complex will over look the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Park, with bottom level produce, 78 apartment units and will take up just under 30,000 square feet. The museum which was thought to go up lacked financial help. So it looks like the Massachusetts Department of Transportation will allow Eastat Reality Capital to go forth with their housing development plan. I think its a good place for a high rise luxury apartment building, but will definitely compete with the recent opened Archstone Avenir. They will battle and it will bring an interesting and new look to the North End area. I'm exited to hear more of about this project. We will keep you updated.

40 new Condos South End

2009-12-04T08:03:00.000-05:00

Boston Homes Link Reports...

Urbanica Design & Development, which transformed the old D4 police station on Warren Avenue at the corner of Berkeley Street a few years ago, has won approval from the Boston Redevelopment Authority to construct a six-story, 40-unit building on six vacant parcels of land at 691 Massachusetts Ave., near Harrison Avenue, in the South End.

Urbanica plans to begin construction this winter, and the cost of the year-long project is estimated at $14 million.

The complex will include a variety of configurations – four one-bedroom and two two-bedroom “SoHo” units defined as small office/home office units; four studio-pluses, eight one-bedrooms, 16 one-plus bedrooms and four two-bedrooms. In addition there will be two penthouses, one with one bedroom and the other with two bedrooms.

Fifteen percent of the condos will be affordable. In addition, outdoor and underground parking will be provided for 30 cars.

For this project, Urbanica has created a limited liability company called Newhouse South End.

New Condo Building in Haymarket

2009-12-02T17:25:00.001-05:00

A $40 million apartment building proposed for Haymarket is expected to win state approval today. Will this really happen and when... thoughts?

Sources tell the Herald that the Massachusetts Department of Transportation will allow Eastat Realty Capital to build a 78-unit apartment building with a ground-floor produce market on a state-owned lot overlooking the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway.

Eastat’s five-story complex on a 29,400-square-foot parcel at the corner of Blackstone and North streets is one of four proposals that have been under consideration since the spring. The others are a $120 million Boston History Museum, a five-story building with art galleries or offices on the upper levels by DeNormandie Cos., and a six-story, 137,000-square-foot office building by the Gutierrez Co.

Summary of Tax Credit Changes

2009-11-09T07:28:00.001-05:00

Summary of changes:

1) The signing of the new bill extends the date to be under contract to April 30, 2010 and the sale must close by June 30th.

2) First-time buyers who have not had interest in a principle residence for three years are still eligible, and the maximum amount remains the same - $8,000.

3) Current homeowners, who have consecutively maintained the home they want to sell as their primary residence for five of the last eight years, are also eligible. However, the maximum amount for those homeowners is lowered to $6,500.

4) The tax credit may not be used to purchase a home for more than $800,000. All buyers who want to get the credit must include documentation of the purchase on their tax returns.

5) The income limits for both tax credits have been raised to $125,000 for single buyers and $225,000 for married couples.

Tax Credit Info / Updates

2009-11-04T17:00:00.001-05:00

The news on the homebuyer tax credit…the House of Representatives has approved legislation that would extend and expand the credit. The House vote comes after the Senate voted yes on Monday night, and while there is more work to be done, word has it that an agreed upon bill should reach President Obama for his signature by the end of this week.

Under the proposal, individuals with income up to $125,000 a year and couples earning up to $225,000 would be eligible for the credit. The extension would cover homes under contract by April 30th and closed by June 30th, 2010. And as we had also predicted, the tax credit will be expanded to non-first time homebuyers as well. There are a few tweaks for non-first time homebuyers - the credit is reduced from $8000 to $6500, and they must have owned a home for at least five of the past eight years. Remember - this is NOT final, and even if it is approved, it could contain further changes.

New Rental Community: 601 Albany Street, South End

2009-10-22T16:58:00.003-04:00

601 Albany Street

There is a new development being worked on in the still up and coming area of the South End. This 40 unit, 6 story development which is currently under construction will be located at 601 Albany Street, being used for retail, residential and ownership with 28 parking spaces available. The 48,602-square-foot development in the South Side boasts parking and a small retail component, which has been leased for medical use. The project was originally designed as condominiums for sale, as early as 2005, but was decided after the downturn to change direction and sought approval for apartments instead, which delayed the construction process, which began 14 months ago. The total cost of construction reached $15 million with $10.5 million in hard cost and a $4.5 million in land and soft cost. Monthly rental rates will range from $1,750 to $2,400 per month for 40 one- and two-bedroom units. Should be a cool building, excited to hear about future amenities they will have to offer! Check back soon on further progress of the construction.

This is a great building and price point for Boston Medical Center employees and those on their residency. For more information on this building and to set up a tour contact us at realestatebostonblog@gmail.com

Boston.com Reports....

WASHINGTON-- Aspiring homebuyers rushed to take advantage of a tax credit for first-time owners that expires in November, driving up the number of signed sales contracts for the seventh straight month in August.

Construction spending rose in August on the biggest jump in housing activity in nearly 16 years, another sign the real estate market is recovering from its four-year slump, data Thursday showed.

Sales and homebuilding are being fueled by a tax-credit of up to $8,000, low mortgage rates and cheap foreclosures. In some of the most hard-hit areas, like Phoenix and Las Vegas, there are bidding wars for deeply discounted properties. And in all but a few cities, home prices are slowly starting to rise, reversing their three-year descent.

More than a dozen bills have been introduced in Congress to extend the credit w/ Nov 30th deadline, but it's unclear if lawmakers want to continue to subsidize the market.

The National Association of Realtors said Thursday its index of sales agreements rose 6.4 percent from July to 103.8, beating forecasts. It was the highest since March 2007 and 12 percent above a year ago. Economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters expected the index would rise to 98.6.

Berkeley Investments is at it again!!

The second phase of their ambitious mixed use property in Waltham is residential... (which I think will do great in a town where there is not enough decent rental units). Coming off of the 160,000 sq. ft of office space they just finished they will start the 2nd phase 96 unit apartment loft-style apartments. Once this is complete they will finish the project with the last 77,000 sq. ft being office space....

Office or residential if you are in the market you can't beat this product. We will keep you posted on residential news and scheduled start dates and occupancies. For commercial turn key spaces are renting in the 20's...

Bryant Back Bay to Hold First-of its-Kind Million Dollar Auction for New Construction Luxury Condominium Residences

Contact us for more information and for representation incentives and experience realestatebostonblog@gmail.com

BOSTON, Sept. 22, 2009 – On behalf of Vornado Realty Trust, Domineum Global Real Estate Solutions (Domineum) and Accelerated Marketing Partners (AMP) today announced the country’s first high-rise real estate auction for multiple million-dollar-plus residences in a new development.

Prospective homebuyers will have a one-time opportunity to purchase 10 floor-through residences at Bryant Back Bay, Vornado’s luxury boutique condominium located in Boston’s Back Bay neighborhood, for up to nearly half off last asking prices.

"As Vornado’s exclusive marketing agent for Bryant Back Bay, Domineum has seen a steady rise in sales and interest in Bryant Back Bay," stated Paul Sunshine, the president of Domineum, a NYC-based marketing firm headed by real estate marketing icon, Louise Sunshine. "We believe the real estate market in Boston is turning around and this is an opportune time to accelerate sales of a carefully selected and limited number of condominium residences with a one-time opportunity for buyers to set value. We can think of no better partner in Boston to handle this auction than Jon Gollinger of Accelerated Marketing Partners, who worked closely with Louise Sunshine in the early ‘90s in New York City to conduct new development real estate auctions. We are also fortunate to work with Tracy Campion of Campion & Company to conduct post-auction sales.”

The real estate auction, conducted by AMP, will take place on Sat., Oct. 17, 1 p.m. at The Colonnade Hotel, located at 120 Huntington Ave. in downtown Boston. Minimum bids for the residences will start at $1.075 million.

“This will be a watershed event and will have tremendous impact on the pricing of prestigious high-rise properties throughout Boston and even the country,” said Jon Gollinger, east coast CEO and co-founder of AMP. “Current market conditions have left many buyers on the sidelines and while we have conducted dozens of auctions throughout the nation, this is truly the first time one will be held for an exclusive ultra-luxury inventory of just 10 residences. The residences available at auction have been hand-selected and we are looking to buyers to determine what those at the top-end of the market are worth.”

The auction information center and model residences will be open daily through Oct. 16 at 303 Columbus Avenue, and valet parking will be available. Advance registration for the event is required and preferred financing will be available for qualified individuals through Wainwright Bank and Allied Mortgage Group. All interested parties can obtain information at www.bryantbackbay.com.

The seven three-bedroom residences to be sold at auction range in size from 1,913 square feet to 2,259 square feet, with minimum bid prices ranging from $1.075 million to $1.150 million. These residences had last asking prices up to $2.050 million.

The three two-bedroom upper floor and penthouse residences to be sold at auction range in size from 1,686 square feet to 1,819 square feet, with minimum bid prices ranging from $1.225 million to $1.475 million. These residences had last asking prices up to $2.399 million.

Located in the Back Bay, Boston’s upscale residential, retail and commercial office district, Bryant Back Bay is a 10-story condominium that features 50 exquisitely finished residences. Available for immediate occupancy, the residences feature floor-through configurations and impressive South End views. Residences boast private elevators with direct home access; light-filled living rooms with southeast exposure; soaring ceilings; red oak floors with rich mahogany stain; terraces; wiring for cable and Internet; and optional gas fireplaces on the upper floors.

Gourmet kitchens feature white Kashmir granite countertops and backsplashes; custom cabinets with lustrous mahogany stain; Viking appliances, including gas cooktops with vented hoods; and KWC sinks and faucets. Master baths have linen honed botticino marble; carrara tile; double vanities; Kohler fixtures; soaking tubs and over-sized showers.

Residents at Bryant Back Bay enjoy a host of amenities, including a soon-to-be completed lobby designed by Klaus Fuchs; state-of-the-art fitness room; private storage; 24-hour concierge and resident manager; and management services provided by Tillingers and Barkan. Access to a deeded parking space in a secured on-site garage will be included in all auction day sales; a second deeded parking space will be available for an additional cost.

Bryant Back Bay is just steps from Boston’s most treasured attractions and landmarks, including Beacon Hill, Newbury Street, Boylston Street, Copley Place, and the Prudential Center.
