The Herald ran an article today about the OneFirst condo development, just over the Boston line, in East Cambridge.

The One First complex - an old Necco plant that’s undergoing conversion into 196 high-end units - combines new construction with a 1924 Art Deco structure and parts of several 19th century factory buildings.

Prices range from the mid-$600,000s for two-bedroom condos to $1.45 million for duplex penthouses with 16-foot ceilings and private decks.

The property is located across the street from the Lechmere Green Line station, so it's convenient to downtown Boston by subway, or the labs & office space in East Cambridge, on foot.

They first started marketing these condos back in 2005 2004, I believe. I'm sure they wish they had more units under agreement, but it is a very large project, and you'd expect it would take several years to go through the inventory.

They did have units in the $400's and $500's, but those sold out first, apparently. What's left runs in $550 - $700 per square foot range, but includes a parking space, I believe.

Perhaps Northpoint buyers waiting on the sidelines would be interested in taking a look?
