Atlas Lofts Announces Grand Opening for May 2010 - New Luxury Loft-Style Apartment Community in Chelsea’s Box District

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) May 14, 2010 -- “This is a defining milestone for Atlas Lofts, The Box District, and The City of Chelsea”, said Bart Mitchell, President of Mitchell Properties. “This building will provide residents with an amazing opportunity given the combination of its architectural detail, convenient location, amenities, and green living. We could not be more excited to welcome our first residents to the building and the neighborhood.”

According to Julia Noyes, Property Manager for Atlas Lofts, each apartment features the original historic brick and wood detail, granite counters, gas-fired range, polished concrete floors, soaring ceiling heights, massive windows with an abundance of natural light, low-flow toilets, tiled shower, extra tall kitchen cabinets, and in-home washer/dryer.

In addition, residents of Atlas Lofts will enjoy impressive amenities throughout the building including: a state-of-the-art fitness room with individual iPod and TV touch screen controls, community room and kitchenette with flat screen TV, patio, interior bike storage, and a roof deck. Free Wi-Fi will be accessible to residents in the community areas and on the roof deck. The apartment community offers off-street assigned parking, storage units and is also pet-friendly.

Originally built in 1911 for the manufacturing of paper boxes, and converted in the mid-1960’s to a mattress factory, the beautiful brick and beam structure was redesigned into modern loft style apartments by The Architectural Team, a prominent Chelsea business and one of the leading architectural firms for the rehabilitation and reuse of historic properties into housing.

While adapting historic industrial buildings into new homes is one of the most eco-friendly methods of construction, the property is also designed with some of the latest green features. Water conserving faucets, toilets, and appliances will save in excess of 4,929,000 gallons of water per year over conventional fixtures. New, efficient mechanical systems provide residents with adequate fresh air in order to improve interior air quality. Flooring materials, such as poured concrete, cut down on allergens and other particles that may post a health risk to susceptible residents. Atlas Lofts is also proudly smoke-free.

To complement the green living in each apartment, residents of Atlas Lofts will be able to easily walk, bike, or ride to downtown Boston, the commuter rail, the Blue Line, and the Orange Line. Atlas Lofts is rated as “very walkable” and within a few steps of the shops and restaurants along Broadway Ave.

As of today, those interested in making Atlas Lofts their home are invited to schedule an appointment to tour the fully-furnished model unit by calling 617-884-7271, e-mailing live@atlas-lofts.com, or visiting www.atlas-lofts.com.
