Ropewalk Apartments in Charlestown Navy Yard move forward with long-term ground lease closing
The restoration of the Charlestown Navy Yard’s historic ropewalk factory, which spans over 1,300 feet in length and has been vacant since 1971, has taken a step forward with developer Frontier Enterprises’ closing on a long-term ground lease for the City-owned property. With the lease closing, the proponent will be able to move forward with construction of the development, which will feature 97 studio, one- and two-bedroom townhouse-style apartments. As part of the project, public interior and exterior exhibition space dedicated to ropewalk manufacturing history will also be constructed. Construction site preparation work on the Ropewalk Apartments property is expected to begin in the coming months. The Ropewalk Apartments will be located in the heart of Charlestown's historic Navy Yard, minutes from Downtown Boston.
