    ULI Boston/New England is hosting a Walking Tour of the East Boston Waterfront (open to all). The tour will cover a few of the recently completed, under construction, and planned developments in the area. We plan to discuss the rapidly evolving environment and the future of the East Boston Waterfront.
     
    Featured Projects:  

    Clippership Wharf                                                                                                
    Clippership Wharf, a development by Lendlease, will transform an underutilized section of the East Boston Waterfront that has been vacant for over 25 years into an active, publicly accessible extension of Maverick Square and the surrounding East Boston neighborhood. Predominantly a residential project, Clippership Wharf is offering 478 new apartments and condominiums within four buildings. Over four acres of landscaped open space will provide a variety of opportunities for public gathering, recreation, and the ability to interact with the water's edge through the reintroduction of a natural, living shoreline. Clippership Wharf will deliver a key component of the East Boston Harborwalk, nearly completing the continuum between LoPresti Park and Piers Park. The site’s indoor and outdoor amenities, featuring a public social and fitness club, retail space, restaurant, commuter café, secure bicycle storage, public parking, public restrooms, and boating and recreational facilities, will create a waterfront destination for the entire East Boston community. As part of the affordable housing requirement, Lendlease is partnering with Winn to redevelop a neighboring 20-unit Boston Housing Authority property into 52 affordable and mixed-income rental and ownership units. The redevelopment not only reenergizes a BHA asset but also creates new supply of affordable housing and reintroduces a view corridor to Boston Harbor.
     
    The Eddy
    The Eddy is a vibrant and inspiring addition to the East Boston waterfront developed by Gerding Edlen and managed by Greystar. Conveniently located minutes from the Blue Line’s Maverick Station and Interstate 90, The Eddy boasts a walk score of 84, a bike score of 77, and a transit score of 67. The building offers 259 spacious studio, one and two bedroom apartment homes averaging 633 square feet. Each apartment home is equipped with Nest Learning Thermostats, high-efficiency LED lighting, Energy Star-rated appliances and low-flow fixtures.

A rooftop deck with seating, a fire pit and 270 degree views are featured on the 17th floor of the high-rise building
     
    The Mark
    The Mark at DeNormandie Wharf is a waterfront mixed-use development featuring 107 condominium residences with over 6,500 square feet of ground-floor publicly-accessible waterfront work share space. Resident amenities at The Mark will include a 5,045 square foot private elevated courtyard with grilling areas, fitness and wellness spaces, lounge areas and small, programmable function spaces. Seven residences at The Mark will be designated affordable. 80 resident parking spaces will be located underneath the building; a total of 147 bicycle storage spaces will be located on site, including 119 interior spaces for residents and 28 public exterior spaces. As part of The Mark, a new 240 linear foot Harborwalk section will be constructed along Boston Harbor, filling a missing link in the Harborwalk between Carlton Wharf and Lo Presti Park. A total of approximately 34,500 square feet of public open space will be created as part of The Mark project. 
     
    Piers Park Phase 2  
    Opened in 1995, Piers Park is an award-winning 6.5 acre open space along the East Boston Waterfront. Owned and operated by the Massachusetts Port Authority, the park was built with significant participation and input from the community. Piers Park 2 will expand this iconic waterfront destination with an additional 4.5 acres of public open space creating a place for active recreation
