2008 has been a good year for the Penmark Boston, with roughly 15 of the 60-unit South End development going Under Agreement or being sold. After what some would say a slow start to sales, occupancy levels have been climbing steadily. The development recently moved their model unit to another unit in the building because their previous model was one of those 15 that sold.

Currently, the Boston MLS lists 10 available units at the Penmark, ranging in size from 929 square feet up to 1,497, and in price from $557,500 to $852,500. The average price per square foot for available units is currently $612, which is quite consistent with the overall South End, and reasonable given the finishes and amenities of this new development - for comparison, see South End Average Price Per Square Foot. The SoWa (South of Washington Street) location puts you in proximity to a solid mix of amenities, but quite far south in the South End.

Open Houses are being held at the development each Sunday from noon until 3pm. After stopping in, contact us with questions, analysis of comparable properties on the market, and the benefits of leveraging a Buyer’s Agent.

We received a request to provide an update on the Penmark South End condo development in Boston’s South End. Located on Father Gilday Street, parallel and south of Washington Street, the Penmark is a 60-unit well appointed development that has been laboring to close out the final developer units from the 2005 redevelopment of the building. We blogged about what were the 11 units for sale back in mid November (see Penmark South End Condo Prices), and now there are 7 remaining units on the Boston MLS.

Various floor plans are still available in the $566 to $740 per square foot (+/-) range. Available units are listed from $565,000 to $1,055,000, and do include garage parking.

If you are looking for upscale living deep in the South End, you do have options. One of those options is the newly opened Penmark Condos at 21 Father Gilday Street, just south of Washington Street (SoWa).

So you’ve been considering a condo in the one of the areas of town known for its gentrification, SoWa, which stands for South of Washington Street in Boston’s South End.

Currently, there are a large handful of choices available in the SoWa district:

1. Worcester Square
2. Penmark Condos
3. ArtBlock Harrison
4. 700 Harrison
5. SoHa Loft (renamed to the 1850)
6. Laconia Lofts
7. Gateway Terrace

And we thought we needed to include two additional condo developments that are on Washington Avenue, but technically, lie on the north side of the street.

1. Wilkes Passage
2. Penny Savings Bank

Except for 700 Harrison and SoHa Lofts, units are available in the remaining condo developments are ready for occupancy. For more information on these SoWa Condo Developments, please contact us.

Recently, the South of Washington (SOWA) area of the South End has seen two new condo developments hit the market, ArtBlock Harrison, and the Boston Penmark Condos. Both are pushing the edge in an area of town that needs revitalization.

The Penmark Condos offer one and two bedroom floor plans, with high-end finishes, as well as a garage parking space with each unit. Most of the windows in the building are towering, and provide good views of the city.
