Boston’s new construction is selling well!

Boston’s latest new construction development, The Signal Building, is seeing a lot of early success. With each open house seeing 40 or more groups and ten units already under agreement, Mary Kelleher and Renee Asofsky are very confident.

The Signal consists of studios, one and two bedrooms in two styles: the renovated brick-and-beam building offers modern loft-like condos or more traditionally styled condominiums are in a newly built structure. The building’s residents will enjoy low monthly condo fees, a roof deck with spectacular city views and kitchen and bathroom. Other amenities include two elevators, private courtyard, gym, bike storage and recycling center.

Why is this property so successful? Well, at this price point (starting at $289,000) most of the inventory in the city is older construction with fewer amenities and in less desirable locations. Also, The Signal offers different layouts, styles and sizes to appeal to a large number of first time home buyers and upgrading home buyers.

The Changing Face of South Boston

Once known for being an insular community of born-and-raised Southie residents, South Boston has changed. The demographic landscape now includes a growing number of young professionals, looking for proximity to downtown and more favorable pricing than the South End. Renovated condominiums in multi-family buildings offer larger space with lots of character.

Don Minchello, a South Boston Specialist at Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty, has seen buyers coming in from New York, New Hampshire, Illinois and Pennsylvania in recent months. “South Boston is a great community and many of the people who eventually buy here start their search in other parts of Boston – the South End, Back Bay and even Cambridge. Their dollars buy larger homes than in those other neighborhoods. South Boston is still an excellent value.”
