Battery Wharf Project Picks Up Pace

Piling by piling, beam by beam, story by story, the impressive mixed-use development known as Battery Wharf is beginning to take shape on the North End waterfront. With a delayed ground breaking about 18 months ago, many questioned the developers anticipated completion date of fall 2007 for this massive project. Simply getting started on the construction of the development was not an easy task for the construction team. As a North End resident, I have seen each step that has been taken since ground breaking. From the months of removing old rotten wood pilings from Boston Harbor, to the digging of the foundation and underground parking garage (which will contain over 375 valet parking spaces), to the hammering of new steel and concrete pilings, to the erecting of the building structures. During this time, residents and visitors to the impressive North End site have seen the construction teams working in rain, snow, intense temperatures and everything in between. The crew seems determined to have the residences and amenities available to condo owners by the end of the year.

The $275 million project will include 104 residential condominiums, a Regent Hotel with 150 guest rooms, a 30,000 square-foot fitness center and spa, restaurants, cafes, conference rooms, a nice bar, lounge... you name it. The exterior structures of 3 of the 4 buildings are near completion, with one building yet to commence. The two pier buildings are going to be the first completed, with The Regent Hotel guest rooms and facilities on the first two floors, and the beautiful residences on the upper four (4) floors. In front of the pier buildings will be a 300 foot marina with boat slips available to the residences for purchase.

With the number of residential sales increasing for the buildings, it seems that the development should approach sold-out status by the time completion is near. Contact us today for more information on the project known as Battery Wharf: Utopia Engineered.
