Don is a straight shooter and extremely honest. He worked hard for us and got the price we wanted for our home in short amount of time.

Don is an amazing real estate agent! His knowledge of the market, current and past properties, and…read moreBoston neighborhoods is absolutely incredible. As first time sellers, he had the patience of a saint, and we are grateful for the time he took in walking us through the process and keeping us on track. He created spreadsheets to help us plan and organize before the sale and his industry contacts for the preparation work were very helpful, responsive and most importantly, priced competitively. When it came time for the negotiation and contracts, I was especially impressed by how well he navigated the loads of paperwork for us, while always keeping us informed. Don is the one you want to take care of those fine details for you, so you don't have to during such a big transaction! Thanks again Don.

Amenities include 24 hour concierge service, a full time building management staff keeping the building in tip top shape, 1000+ sq. ft. gym and 25,000 sq. ft. plaza in the Macallen building overlooking downtown Boston. Pricing as of Spring 2007 range between $350,000 to 1.4 million with square footage ranging from 650 to 2000+. With Red line T access right across the street and a 3/4 mile walk on the harbor walk to the Seaport District, this area of South Boston is Boston's next up and coming area. New restaurants and retail space are going up 1-2 blocks away in the soon to be completed Macallen Building, Allele, and 36A Lofts. In addition, the Cornerstone Pub is coming down and being replaced with a luxury rental building and an independent movie theater on the 1st floor. If you are looking for a good real estate investment, consider the Court Square Press building or one of the surrounding condominium complexes in the neighborhood.

I'm a long time resident of Court Square and also one of the family members of the development…read morecompany, a century-old family-owned Boston business. I just had to post a rebuttal of the 1-star review, it was absurdly false. Our family no longer manages the buildings, nor do we derive revenue from sale of any units, besides the two (out of hundreds of units) we still own. There are always problems in a newly constructed building, but speaking only to my own unit, an unrenovated stock unit that was sold as-is, the electrical problems have been minimal compared to, say, pretty much every apartment in Manhattan that I've ever lived in. That's an apocryphal story, it's true, but so is Sadie's entire post. As to the building-on-the-cheap charge, all I can say is watch The Greening of Southie, a documentary made about our building project, and form your own opinions of how "cheap" we built: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1279088/ All our sub contractors were union shops, anyone who knows building knows what that means, We skimped *nowhere* in the buildout. Cardboard box removal (not paper, that's in its own bin on every floor): Flatten box, ride elevator down to 1st floor, drop in designated bin steps from elevator. No one watches this process, there is no "cardboard fine", there are no forensic examiners dusting for your prints on improperly disposed waste, Ridiculous accusation. More likely: Movers messed up with trash disposal, left unit owner/renter holding the bill. Move rules are clearly posted, like in any condo building, follow them or get grief from staff and neighbors, like in any condo building. No one is hostile to workers, almost all the movers used have been doing business with us for 80+ years, why alienate people we rely on? Out-of-state movers if they are professional, receive that courtesy in return. Smoking is an issue, sure, but the fact that it still happens speaks to the fact that management isn't the facist org you paint them as (And I am not one of them, have no ties to them), because no one I know has ever gotten a building fine for someone smoking in their unit during a party. Ever. Maybe you know different, but the only people who ever get fined are the ones the building gets into a legal situation with, usually starting with the ubiquitous noise complaint to police that every condo owner has faced at some point in their building, either as aggrieved party or as a complaint-maker. The fires you refer to happened in the Macallan Building, that would be a different yelp entry. Full disclosure: Last night we had a small electrical fire in CSP, it was limited to one unit, no injuries. It was the first electrical fire in the building since I've moved here, 9 years ago. There was one grease fire earlier in the year, kitchen fire, again one unit, no injuries. With both fires, BFD response was amazing, and I was back in my apt in 45 minutes. The problem with cabs is a problem with radio dispatch in Southie, which is a very hit-or-miss proposition. As a New Yorker by birth, I find the taxi companies (there are dozens) to be disorganized and shady (None of them use duty-lights like NYC cabs, therefore they can drive past anyone they please). That's an issue with the companies, not the concierge. Get a flipping Uber app already, jeez. It was never designed to be a rental building, there's a great deal of pushback about that, and has been for 10 years. Bottom line: You aren't supposed to rent your unit indefinitely, it is a building requirement that you must have fallow periods without rental so that the building stays a condo and not a rental building. I'm guessing 1-star poster ran into that issue, but it's all there in the condo docs. Parking: The only fines are given when the actual parking rules are broken. Like parking in someone else's numbered spot, or parking for longer than 2 hours in the visitor or loading zone. Yeah you gotta follow those rules "to the letter" because otherwise, there is no parking for legally entitled parking spot owners. Management company (Not me!) is fine, just like any other property management company, they are a bottom-line org, the arm of a real estate investment LLC, so yeah, that's your landlord, not a little old lady, deal with it. No one I know in my building has ever been fined for a loud TV or musical instrument, unless it was part of a larger noise complaint. There is actually a space you can use in Macallan for recitals and practice. Unless you were shredding at 1 am with the stacks turned up to 11, I really don't believe this. The worst noises I've ever heard, and I live on the courtyard-side, so I get a natural acoustic amplifier at my windows: Muffled crying baby and inevitable barking dog. It is a pet-kid friendly building, so expect that or rent/buy elsewhere. Cheers. Feel free to msg or ask here for any other questions re: CSP building.

They were incredibly friendly, funny, and even shared their dinner with us (we were starving and didn't get fed at our gig).

I have a lot to say about Wilkes even though I don't live here! First of all, the building is…read moreextremely dog friendly, and has a fantastic (and probably the only) dog park next door. The concierges are all very nice but I don't get the impression that they actually guard the building. At least they never ask me where I am going when they let me in. The flowers in the lobby are always fresh and beautiful and I love walking into Wilkes. As for the apartments-most are owned/very few are rentals. Ultra modern lofts/one bedrooms/two bedrooms. Poured concrete floors, stainless steel appliances, granite counters, laundry, central air, brand new everything. The area is definitely getting nicer by the day but the silver line can be slightly sketchy at night. The neighborhood cafes, bakeries, and upscale restaurants make this location fairly ideal. An easy walk to the main shopping areas and to everywhere in central Boston. If you are in the market for a modern apartment in a friendly building, especially if you have a dog, check out Wilkes!
