OneFirst … East Cambridge condos

The Herald ran an article today about the OneFirst condo development, just over the Boston line, in East Cambridge.

The One First complex - an old Necco plant that’s undergoing conversion into 196 high-end units - combines new construction with a 1924 Art Deco structure and parts of several 19th century factory buildings.

Some 50 of Phase I’s 159 condos are still available, with another 37 units set for completion next year as part of Phase II.

Prices range from the mid-$600,000s for two-bedroom condos to $1.45 million for duplex penthouses with 16-foot ceilings and private decks.

The property is located across the street from the Lechmere Green Line station, so it’s convenient to downtown Boston by subway, or the labs & office space in East Cambridge, on foot.

They first started marketing these condos back in 2005 2004, I believe. I’m sure they wish they had more units under agreement, but it is a very large project, and you’d expect it would take several years to go through the inventory.

They did have units in the $400’s and $500’s, but those sold out first, apparently. What’s left runs in $550 - $700 per square foot range, but includes a parking space, I believe.

Perhaps Northpoint buyers waiting on the sidelines would be interested in taking a look?

    According to the Northpoint sales office, closings on the first

    condominium will NOT be before the October 1st deadline set forth in sales contracts. A letter

    requesting an extension will be mailed out next week, but they could not clarify how much longer

    they will be asking. To make matters worse, the main sales associate has quit and the sales

    director has gone on vacation. I signed on more than a year ago when there was nothing but positive

    press on this development, but as you suggest, I am now considering other options.

    No, but seriously, that’s whacked.

    I’m gonna call them

    on Monday morning. They gotta get this right.

    Maybe a new sales team is in order?
