The Esplanade
is a luxury building located on the Charles River and across the street from
the Cambridgeside Galleria. This building is sought after because of its prime
and rear interactive waterfront location. These 206 units were designed to
bring many of the amenities often associated with single family homes to an
unrban location, such as: Outdoor spaces, natural light, views, greenery,
windowed kitchens, and separate dining rooms.
The Esplanade
was completed in the Fall of 1989. These residents have the opportunity to
enjoy spectacular river and skyline views, as well as the greenery of Eliot
Park and Front Park. The Cohen Companies, Boston-based, was the developer
and Moshe Safdie was the designer. Safdie's complex design of two L-shaped
towers steps back from the river from a three story base, creating landscaped
12' x 18' canopied terraces. Building features bays, balconies and floor toceiling
windows to extend the living spaces, accentuating the views and providing
an abundance of natural light.
Amenities

staffed five days a week. There is a Health Club, exclusively for residents
and their guests. Features: 60-foot indoor swimming pool, exercise room, and
men's & women's saunas. A Gathering Room for residents' private parties and
meetings. Four levels of secured resident parking, as well as guest parking.
An assigned storage locker for each residence. Two high-speed elevators in
