Ready in: Winter 2018
GE’s new hires will appreciate the high-tech abodes inside Port45, a 105-unit residence set to open in Southie next winter.

The Jordan Lofts
Starting at: $2,500,000 for two bedrooms

This classic brick building in the SoWa district once housed industrial horse stables for the Jordan Marsh department store chain; now it’ll house the city’s upwardly mobile in 15 ultra-sleek condos, including three penthouses. The lofts boast high ceilings and large windows, plus enough space for a den, pantry, laundry room, and balcony.

For a change of scenery, residents can kick back in the private outdoor area or pay a visit to the fitness center.
