EchelonSeaport – Bringing neighbors to Boston's newest neighborhood

As Boston’s Seaport District continues to radically and rapidly evolve, much has been made of how a neighborhood has been created virtually from scratch. To be considered a full-fledged neighborhood, however, an area needs neighbors—a critical mass of residents—as one of its pillars. The population of the bustling South Boston outpost will increase significantly when the first phase of EchelonSeaport opens later this year.

Located in the heart of the district, the striking three-tower, mixed-use complex now under construction will be one of the most unique and luxurious places to live in the Seaport and the entire city. Valued at $950 million, the 1.3-million-square-foot project will include 447 condominium residences across two of its towers and 270 apartments in a third tower. When it is completed in the first quarter of 2020, some 2,000 new residents will call EchelonSeaport home.
