East Boston’s big Boston East starts pre-leasing

Pre-leasing has started at the 200-unit Boston East complex at 126 Border Street along the East Boston waterfront, developer Trinity Financial announced.

It’s one of several new developments in Eastie either proposed, underway, or recently completed. In fact, the Blue Line might be the busiest T route in terms of construction.

The $71 million Boston East is set to include 174 market-rate units and 26 units designated as affordable, including six artist live-work apartments.

Available studios start at around $2,000 a month; one-bedrooms at around $2,200; two-bedrooms at around $3,000; three-bedrooms at around $4,800; and numerous lofts of various sizes at around $2,400.

The complex will also include amenities such as a kayak and paddle board launch; a dog spa; a fitness center; a concierge; a Hubway dock and Zipcar spots on-site; and quick access to the Harborwalk.

Stay tuned for leasing figures (Boston East is supposed to open in December). Meanwhile, here are a coupe of photos of the model unit.
