Residences at the InterContinental
Boston’s waterfront is about to forever change. Construction is underway on the InterContinental Boston hotel, which will contain 130 luxury condominiums on the hotel’s upper floors. The hotel and high-end residences are located in the city’s Financial District. This is just the latest innovative project to turn the area into a vibrant residential neighborhood.
The building is an excusive Howard Elkus design. He has been quoted as saying he was inspired by ships. The building’s wings are like a ship’s mast, the curved facades are the sails. It is a fitting description for a structure that will help define Boston’s waterfront in the future.
The homes will be wrapped in glass and rise above the hotel, offering fantastic views of the city and the famous Boston Harbor. Spacious one, two, three, and four bedrooms will be available, with starting prices of between $800 to $900 a square foot. Each home has been designed with meticulous detail. Oversized mahogany solid-core entry doors, high ceilings, and variegated walnut stained floors add to the refined elegance of the homes. State-of-the art wiring, plenty of closets and storage space, and a utility room make the homes functional, as well as beautiful.
Kitchens come equipped with granite countertops and backsplashes, custom cabinetry, and high-end appliances. All of the baths and powder rooms are designed to provide a feeling of luxury. Master bathrooms have gorgeous floor-to-ceiling St. Croix limestone tile walls, custom wood vanities, Kohler under mount rectangular sinks with wall mounted faucets, a large shower with frameless glass door, and Kohler Maestro soaking tubs.
Living on top of a hotel will give homeowners access to all of the amenities available at a luxury hotel. From housekeeping to room service, residents will be able to enjoy unparalleled pampering. Faneuil Hall, the Financial District, Quincy Market, Downtown Crossing, and Boston Common are all within walking distance. So are the T, South Station and North Station, making this location extremely convenient. Construction is expected to be complete in mid-2006.
