華埠公園旁豪華住宅弧度大廈剪綵啟用

提供連鎖金，捐地給好事福/平安巷大廈建可負擔住宅的波士頓弧度大廈(Radian Boston)，昨（廿二）日邀得波士頓市長馬丁華殊剪綵啟用。

波士頓弧度大廈(Radian Boston)是由北美乞臣集團的奧瑞朗（Ori Ron）與其子諾安（Noam Ron）這對父子檔發起，其後森林市（Forest City）集團加入的土地發展計劃，樓高26層，約70個停車位，共有240戶，都是豪華出租單位。

波士頓市長馬丁華殊稱許弧度大廈是個真正的合作成功項目，既照顧到了市場需求，也建造了更多的可負擔住宅，他將邀奧瑞朗與市府合作，以弧度大廈為範例，推動更多這類合作。

奧瑞朗坦言自己是1992年才來到美國的猶太裔移民，在波市檢查部門（ISD）一位名叫查理的工作人員大方協助下，才順利了解要在波士頓市做土地開發需要懂得的一應事務。他感謝紐英崙中華公所，陳灼鋆等華埠社區的許多人，還指出波士頓市長馬丁華殊是名真正肯聆聽民意的市長，曾經在一個大風雪日子進入華埠，和他一起與華埠居民談了將近一個半小時。

弧度大廈(Radian Boston)是森林市（Forest City）集團在波士頓的第一個土地開發項目，也是緊鄰綠路的第一個私營機構，由波士頓著名的Elkus Manfredi建築師樓所設計，主要設計者為Perkins Eastman。

根據波士頓市府及弧度大廈管理單位提供的資料，全部240戶，都是出租單位，其中235個市價單位，5個可負擔住宅。每月租金約為套房（studio）$2960，一睡房 $3410，兩睡房 $4160，共有十八個單位的頂層閣樓 $5995。

弧度大廈在今年二月時對外公佈的各單位尺寸為，套房，以及一或二睡房，面積在563平方尺至1082平方尺之間。頂層閣樓為662-1471平方尺之間。

弧度大廈昨日開放給出席剪彩典禮者參觀。多名皮革區住戶在參觀時表示，無論是24樓或5樓，位於弧度所在處的單位，可以遠眺，讓人一覽無遺的市區風景，在波士頓市區中十分少見。

其中五樓是擺有新穎健身設備的健身房，有以不同色系沙發分出三個區域，配有廚房的交誼室。另備有一睡房的客房，供租戶有訪客時租用。

弧度大廈面向益士石街（Essex）的地面一樓，將有4500平方尺的零售店面，將開設餐廳。

Newest Luxury Rental Anchors Southern Portion of Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway

BOSTON– May 27, 2014 — Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh joined co-developers Forest City Boston and Hudson Group North America to celebrate the opening of Radian – Downtown Boston’s newest luxury rental development – with a ceremonial ribbon-cutting on Thursday, May 22 on the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway. The event welcomed local dignitaries, members of the community and development and construction teams, who witnessed the opening of the premier 26-story development.

“We’re pleased to announce the official opening of Radian. Our team believes the project’s notable location, as it’s right on the Greenway near the Financial District and South Station, truly sets it apart in the market,” said Ron Ratner, President and CEO of Forest City Residential Group. “With the influx of tech start-ups and the increase of the city’s venture capital, more residents will be setting their sights on this neighborhood and we foresee that Radian will be coming onto the scene at the right time to serve as a prime residential destination.”

Mayor Walsh, alongside Ratner; Frank Wuest and Doug Arsham of Forest City Boston, Noam Ron and Ori Ron of Hudson Group, Jesse Brackenbury of the Greenway Conservancy, as well as Bill Moy, chairman of the Chinatown Neighborhood Council took scissors to the ribbon, announcing the building’s official completion. The $130-million project broke ground in September 2012 and opened for occupancy this May.

Located at 120 Kingston Street, at the nexus of the Leather District, Financial District and Chinatown, the development is one of the premiere residential projects situated on the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway and is in close proximity to Downtown Boston’s South Station transportation hub.

Radian, composed of 240 homes, offers expansive amenities including a resident lounge equipped with a conference room, bar, catering kitchen and continental breakfast bar, fitness center, cold storage and 24-hour concierge service. Additionally, residents of the building will have access to James Beard Finalist Matt Jennings’ latest restaurant, Townsman, slated to open in late 2014.

Remaining homes include studios, one-, one-with flex, two-and three-bedroom residences. Pricing begins at $2,960 for a studio and $4,160 for a two-bedroom home, and penthouses begin at $5,995 per month.
