History and Development of the Project

10 Farnsworth began as 338 Congress, which is situated at the corner of Farnsworth Street and Congress Street in Fort Point of the Seaport District. 338 Congress was later renamed with its current name right now. The project moved forward by April 2016 where the construction was planned to begin in June of the same year.

The Fort Point Neighborhood Association held a meeting with the developers of the project as the latter provided an update regarding 10 Farnsworth. It was later revealed that the building would have nine units and the presales would start almost after the groundbreaking. It was also announced that the starting price is $2.5 million for the units.

The developers purchased 338 Congress for lower than $6 million last September 2015. The former developer of the project guided the new ones as it received approval from the Boston Redevelopment Authority in January 2014.

After the sale, 10 Farnsworth did not undergo many changes, particularly in design. There were just a few minor adjustments, such as unlocking the façade, which will be used as retail space at the Congress and Farnsworth streets junction. The opening was performed to get rid of blind spots. At the moment, there is still no decision regarding the retail space though it is possible it will be occupied by a bank.

The construction of the foundation of the building required more or less 50 micropiles, which were drilled and caused some noticeable vibration in the community. However, it was less vibration compared to pile driving. Drilling began before September ended and it finished almost after a month. Work took place from 7 in the morning to 6 in the evening on weekdays. There was some occasional construction on Saturdays.

The development was built with the use of cast in place concrete, and its structure was completed before the end of 2017. However, it is still not finished as some installations in the area are still in process. 10 Farnsworth condo superstructure is now on the rise, starting in January last year when the third floor of the building was almost completed, although it did enter its completion stage by April. A month later, the top of the building was constructed and was followed by weatherproofing and some finishing of the exteriors of the building.

10 Farnsworth has not opened yet, but potential buyers and residents are already excited to live in the space. Those who are interested in witnessing the beauty and luxury of the units and the whole property can schedule a tour. In September of 2017, curtain wall installation was performed, and interior finishing is already underway, so the building is expected to open in 2018.
