Boston mayor Martin Walsh joined co-developers Forest City Boston and Hudson Group North America to celebrate the opening of Radian, downtown's newest rental development, with a ceremonial ribbon-cutting on 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. "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."
The $130 million project broke ground in September 2012 and opened for occupancy this May.
Located at 120 Kingston St., 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 to downtown'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.
