CUBE 3 designs The Mark at DeNormandie Wharf - now complete

Boston, MA What started as a vacant, degraded urban waterfront site, once inaccessible to the public, has transformed into The Mark at DeNormandie Wharf, a mixed-use development at 99 Sumner St., designed by CUBE 3. The property follows the water’s edge, completing East Boston’s Harbor Walk and bridging the gap between Carlton Wharf and LoPresti Park.

This newly completed waterfront property features 107 condominium residences built with materials and impeccable finishes. Seven residences are designated affordable, and the property has 6,500 s/f of ground-floor publicly accessible waterfront workshare space. Besides views of downtown, the Seaport District, and Charlestown, amenities for tenants include a 5,045 s/f private elevated courtyard with grilling areas, fitness and wellness spaces, pet wash, golf simulator, lounge areas, and small, programmable function spaces. 80 resident parking spaces are located underneath the building and a total of 147 bicycle storage spaces are located on site.

With a focused on sustainable design, the Mark at DeNormandie Wharf is equipped with efficient heating and cooling systems, light colored reflective roofing material, water reduction initiatives, and electric car charging stations for its tenants and visitors. Future LEED goals for the property include LEED Green Building certification, LEED v4 for BD+C: new construction and major renovation and LEED Silver certification (55 points)

Finally, in addition to the building’s façade, is the new 240-foot Harborwalk section along Boston Harbor that adds 34,500 s/f of public open space, welcoming pedestrian engagement in the area. The site includes native plantings and open spaces designed to encourage interaction with this special environment.

Accessible by foot or bike, with the Maverick MBTA train station located about a 1/4 mile east down Sumner St., the Mark at DeNormandie Wharf is a welcoming addition to the neighborhood.

Long-term interest rates have fallen by 100 basis points, and the market is normalizing. In December of 2022 I wrote an article about investing in a high interest rate, high inflation market. Since then, inflation has cooled off, and the Fed has begun lowering their funds rate.
