Thibeault Properties completes work to FiDi Lofts at 153-155 Milk Street

The final residential units of the FiDi Lofts at 153-155 Milk St. have recently been complete and received a certificate of occupancy. Evan Papanaste of Northeast Real Estate Group, who is the rental agent for the FiDi Lofts, said that all but three of the luxury residential units have been leased out. The FiDi lofts are 2 bedrooms, 2 bathroom apartment homes located in the Financial District. These industrial loft style apartments bring a modern style and elegance to the Financial District which is now becoming one of Boston's most attractive residential areas, precipitated by the development of the Rose Kennedy Greenway and the multitude of restaurants, shops, and bars now flourishing in the area. This brand new conversion elevator building features 16 main level units and 4 penthouse level units with only three units still available. They boost modern kitchens, granite countertops, sleek porcelain tiled floors and showers, beautiful fixtures and recessed lighting; the spa-like bathrooms, huge arched window with plenty of light. The Financial District boasts convenient living on top of a fine collection of markets, sidewalk cafés and restaurants along historic brick lined streets that contribute to FiDi's unique character and charm. The FiDi Lofts are located just steps from The Rose Kennedy Greenway andclose to the city's historic Faneuil Hall as well as the several award winning restaurants in the North End. The building was originally purchased at the end of 2012 by William Thibeault of Thibeault Properties and has undergone a total transformation. At the time the property was purchased it was need of a complete renovation and was 80% vacant. Thibeault re-permitted the building for mixed use and contracted Nauset Construction to do the build out. The building also houses the headquarters of Brill Publishing, two restaurant units which are leased to Max's Deli and Subway; and the remaining retail office space is the longtime home of Backworks Chiropractic and Acupuncture Center.
