01/05/2016 01:30 PMConstruction of the anticipated condominium complex at 66 High Street is still on track and on schedule according to Kenny Horton of The Horton Group, LLC, developer of the project.
The project officially broke ground on Oct. 13, 2015 and construction on the 15-acre site has remained constant since, even into the winter months.
“I would not say [construction] has been easier, but [the weather] sure has helped,” said Horton, referring to the unusually mild start to this winter.
The development at 66 High Street will eventually include 57 condos in three buildings priced between $740,000 and $1.1 million for a total of $56 million in listings, according to William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty, which is handling the project.
The development, located on a former industrial site, has drawn interest due to its proximity to the Green, train station, and harbor. While no additional units have been sold since the groundbreaking, Horton said there are still many interested parties.
“We have seven people waiting to look at units,” he said. “Hopefully we will get the units watertight for interior viewing soon.”
Realtor Nikki Travaglino with William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty confirmed there is still a lot of interest in the development.
“We have had a lot of interest and showings during what is traditionally a slow time for real estate,” she said. “We have a showroom set up on site in our sales trailer where interested buyers can view the interior/exterior renderings [and] floor plans as well as the selected finishes. The construction is moving along and will work out perfectly with nearly completed units for the spring buyer market.”
Horton said earlier that construction of the Mill/Marshwalk building, site utility infrastructure, and eventually the foundation of the Whitfield building will be completed by the winter and the Whitfield and Leete buildings will be erected in early spring.
The entire project is expected to be completed by 2017. Horton said there has only been one small planning change thus far.
“No challenges,” he said. “But due to fire safety concerns we have had to redesign some interior units in the historical buildings.”
