Jones Lang LaSalle completes $2m Langham's BOND rest./lounge project
Jones Lang LaSalle has completed construction of The Langham, Boston's new BOND restaurant/lounge, a premier destination for cosmopolitan dining, cocktails and entertainment. The high end $2 million interior project capitalizes on the grandeur of the room's historical significance introducing modern elements with an international flare. Senior vice president Harry Dangora served as project executive, Don Dignan was the senior construction manager, Dan Donahue was the senior project superintendent, and Christopher Hardiman the estimator on the assignment.
The 2,200 s/f space within the former Federal Reserve Bank has been transformed into a unique venue that combines classic architecture with cutting edge materials and a contemporary design aesthetic. Facing infrastructure and scheduling challenges, Jones Lang LaSalle worked closely with BOND owner and operator The Langham, Boston and the project team to deliver an exclusive dining and nightlife setting that features: 25-ft. high Barrisol ceilings from France; restoration of the original Federal Reserve Bank bronze seal set in the original terrazzo flooring, a Santos Mahogany wood bar with custom millwork and back lit glass/mirror boxes; custom carpet imported from China; and bold graphic 3-form window panels. A new elevator was installed for ADA access, and stairs were added for access to the Dom Perignon Mezzanine overlooking the main dining room.
BOND was designed by the team at Jeffrey Beers International. The architect of record was TRO Jung/Brannen. Mechanical and electrical engineering was provided by WB Engineering, and the lighting design by D Schweppe.
Providence, RI Shawmut Design and Construction celebrated the ceremonial groundbreaking for the 195 District Park Pavilion, marking the start of construction on a facility that will feature year-round dining and support space for park operations. In addition to the 3,500 s/f building, the project will include infrastructure upgrades

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.
