Slip65’s 80 East Boston waterfront condominiums, which reached 95%-sold in just six weeks of sales, are now fully sold out, with the last two condominiums sold last weekend. Slip65 condominium sales began over the weekend of Friday, June 23, during which time 40 condominiums were made available over 36 hours and all were sold. Overall, Slip65 sold out in just over two months, reflecting the extraordinarily strong demand for condominiums on the East Boston Waterfront. “[The] extraordinary success at Slip65 confirms the emergence of East Boston as an ‘in-demand’ location – minutes to Boston with million dollar views,” said Sue Hawkes, Managing Director of The Collaborative Companies, in a prepared statement.

Slip65, luxury condos opening Fall 2018 on East Boston Waterfront, 95%-sold in six weeks

Slip65, the East Boston Waterfront’s first luxury condominium building featuring 80 residences, has reached 95%-sold over a year before the building’s anticipated Fall 2018 opening after just six weeks of sales. Slip65’s remarkably quick sell up represents the very strong demand for housing, in particular ownership options, on the East Boston Waterfront. Seeking to capitalize upon the neighborhood’s sweeping waterfront views and one-stop subway commute to Downtown Boston, a number of developers have recently switched East Boston apartment project programs to condominiums. The Davis Companies received approval last month to construct 119 condominiums at 99 Sumner Street, which will be the second condominium option directly on the East Boston Waterfront; originally, The Davis Companies had proposed to construct 119 apartments.

Just four residences remain for sale at Slip65, with 76 residences under agreement. All one-bedroom residences at Slip65 have been sold; all remaining available residences are two-bedrooms. Prices for Slip65’s sold condominiums range from $700- to over $1200 per square foot, some for prices topping $1.5 million. Residences currently listed for sale range from $780 to just over $900 per square foot, including:

• Unit 415, a 1,075-square-foot two-bedroom/two-bathroom residence, listed for $840,000 ($781.40 per square foot)
• Unit 214, a 1,082-square-foot two-bedroom/two-bathroom residence, listed for $875,000 ($808.69 per square foot)
• Unit 308, a 1,051-square-foot two-bedroom/two-bathroom residence, listed for $935,000 ($889.63 per square foot)
• Unit 510, a 1,066-square-foot two-bedroom/two-bathroom residence, listed for $965,000 ($905.25 per square foot)

Slip65 luxury condominiums on East Boston Waterfront achieve 50%-sold benchmark in just 36 hours

Slip65, the 80-unit condominium component of the $225 million Clippership Wharf mixed-use development on the East Boston Waterfront, is now 50%-sold, achieving record East Boston prices. Prices for Slip65’s sold condominiums, the East Boston Waterfront’s first ownership option, range from $700- to over $1200 per square foot, some for prices topping $1.5 million. Condominiums at Slip65 were made available in a 40-unit block over the weekend of Friday, June 23; all 40 condominiums were quickly reserved over just 36 hours, speaking to East Boston’s high desirability. “This weekend’s extraordinary success at Slip65 confirms the emergence of East Boston as an ‘in-demand’ location – minutes to Boston with million dollar views,” said Sue Hawkes, Managing Director of The Collaborative Companies. “To sell 40 units in 36 hours is just an amazing response, and we anticipate similar demand for the second block when it is made available.”

Slip65 is part of the first phase of the Clippership Wharf development, which will feature 478 residences with approximately 30,200 square feet of retail and community space, including a cafe and a restaurant, when complete. Residences at Clippership Wharf will include 398 apartments and 80 condominiums; Slip65 is currently planned to be Clippership Wharf’s only condominium component, and is currently the only planned waterfront ownership option in East Boston. “We are proud to see how Slip65 has been embraced by the market and are especially satisfied to be selling condos for over $1.5 million in East Boston,” said Nick Iselin, General Manager of Development for Lendlease in Boston. “The demand for Slip65 has been overwhelming across all price ranges." Construction of Slip65 is well underway; occupancy of Slip65, as well as Dox, Clippership Wharf’s apartment component, is expected in Fall 2018.

Foundation pouring underway at Clippership Wharf mixed-use development on East Boston Waterfront
