Developer Wants 585-Unit Project to Go Condo

BOSTON-Roseland Associates is looking to convert its plans for Pier One, its 585-unit project on East Boston’s waterfront, from rental apartments to condominiums. The move comes as developers across the city are converting just about anything–industrial, commercial or residential space–into condos.

A spokesperson for the Boston Redevelopment Authority, confirms for GlobeSt.com that New Jersey-based Roseland has indicated its plan to shift its project from rental units to condos. Calls to Roseland’s local office were not returned by deadline, but they spokesperson tells GlobeSt.com that because Pier One is in its final stages of its permitting process the BRA will be requesting additional information on the developer’s plans. “There doesn’t need to be a new filing. We just need supplemental information.”
