Project Partners: Insight Partners and The Gale Company
In a joint venture with Insight Partners and the Gale Company, Boyd/Smith
set out in 2003 to refurbish a turn-of-the-century leather/textile mill
building. The Kingston Street mill is now home to 42 luxury
loft apartments featuring soaring heavy-beamed ceilings, original columns,
oversized windows, and open living spaces – the very essence of loft
living. Nestled between the Financial District and Chinatown, the
Midtown Leather District is made more dynamic by the grand open boulevard
of the Rose Kennedy Greenway, virtually outside the property’s front
door. The ambience is decidedly urban, but at the same time very sophisticated
with high-end finishes such as warm chocolate wooden floors, sleek stainless
steel appliances, granite countertops, secure underground parking, convenient
individual storage, and cityscape-viewed roof terraces.
