Skanska USA and Twining Properties announced today that Watermark Seaport is now fully completed and has already welcomed its first residents.
“Watermark Seaport and its surrounding neighborhood is coming alive with many new residents, and we have seen strong interest in the building from people who want a modern, urban lifestyle,” said Charley Leatherbee, executive vice president of Skanska USA Commercial Development in Boston. “We’ve created a unique residential experience at Watermark Seaport through meticulous design, carefully curated artwork and a best-in-class amenities package.”
