New neighborhoods need a critical mass of uses to become burgeoning new neighborhoods, and the Seaport is getting there. Find out what's in store when we present our State of the Seaport on March 9 at the Boston Marriott Long Wharf. But first, say hello to some of our speakers...
Berkshire Group SVP Heather Boujoulian continues to see very strong demand for apartments in Boston, especially in the Seaport (she's on the pool deck at The Benjamin, one of the two residential towers at One Seaport Square). That'll accelerate "with more buildings opening and the arrival of meaningful retail later this year. One Seaport Square will be a desirable location for people seeking a lifestyle where they can live, work, shop and play."
Synergy Investments president David Greaney is optimistic about development and leasing prospects. The culture of innovation in companies at the Seaport "is spilling out into the street and into the restaurants, cafés and meeting places." David's snapped with asset manager Steve Leaf, associate director leasing Aengus McAllister and senior director of leasing Jim Grady.
There's also an intangible aspect to the growth of a relatively new neighborhood. "There's an excitement and energy about the Seaport that's infectious," David says. He expects to see even more interesting and innovative companies choose this part of Boston.
