East Boston, MA According to Gansett Ventures and City Realty Group, both real estate development firms active in Boston, homes are now available for purchase at Mira. Located at 301 Border St., Mira is a style-forward luxury condominium development built to connect residents with the diverse cultural and international flavor of life. Mira boasts a roof deck with city and water views and offers a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom condos, some with private balconies and roof decks. An easy walk from the MBTA Blue Line with direct access to downtown Boston in minutes, Mira also has ground-level interior parking and several electric car charging stations. Mira residences are marketed exclusively by CHARLESGATE.

“After 2020 saw an understandable slowdown in condo sales, this year has seen an amazing resurgence of people excited to enjoy the kind of vibrant urban lifestyle that Mira can provide,” said P.T. Vineburgh, founding partner at CHARLESGATE.

“We have seen an unprecedented level of interest in this building’s unique features and have already sold 20% of the units in the first two days on the market.

Mira is a ‘new look for Boston’, created by one of city’s premier design firms, EMBARC. The design features heightened sophistication throughout, from the in-unit finishes including quartz countertops, to the wood flooring, Metropolitan cabinets, Carrara marble bathrooms and more. In addition to Boston’s most spectacular roof deck, Mira features a residents-only club room, work-from-home space, 70+ bike storage spaces, and a state-of-the art fitness center, among other amenities. Retail space on the first floor will include an East Boston Museum Gallery and a cafe concept.

“Mira provides luxury living never seen in East Boston before,” said Caleb Manchester, President of Gansett Ventures. “Each unit reflects countless hours of careful design to provide the perfect next home. The spectacular roof deck and views will make owners the envy of all their friends and family.”

“Mira provided a great opportunity to connect East Boston’s storied past with its exciting future,” said Stephen Whalen, Managing Partner at City Realty Group. “Mira will be steeped in local history and culture, including an East Boston Museum display and space for local artists to display their work. Mira is designed to compliment and celebrate East Boston.”
