A large site across from the Mystic River Reservation in Medford is being turned into the area's latest luxury apartment development with views across the river to the Boston skyline.
The 164-unit Lumiere is about a mile from the Wellington Orange Line T Station, and sits on the site of a former car dealership. The first 48-apartment phase has just opened, with 18 of the units leased. The final two phases will be finished in December and February.
The Lumiere is in the same apartment submarket as Station Landing in Medford and Assembly Row in Somerville, but without the urban village feel.
"People who go there get the hustle and bustle, but those who rent here want a little more tranquility," said Lumiere property manager Robin Boersner, citing nearby walking and cycling trails and kayaking on the river. "We're across from a natural retreat."
Waltham- and Dallas-based Criterion Development Partners also recently built the Rivers Edge apartments near Wellington, but the Lumiere is targeting a higher-end market.
"Criterion wanted to create a real upscale feel at the Lumiere, with larger apartments and higher quality finishes than the competition," said Michelle Tomasetti, director of marketing for WinnResidential, which is managing the development.
All apartments have 9- to 10-foot ceilings and tall windows, kitchens with Silestone countertops and islands, and two-tone zebrawood and white cabinetry. The master bedroom suites have spacious walk-in closets and soaking tubs in the en-suite tiled bathrooms. Fifth-floor apartments have gas fireplaces and some units have hardwood floors throughout. Most have sliding-glass doors to private balconies.
Studios at the Lumiere, with 623 square feet, start at $1,829, one bedrooms, from 690 to 840 square feet, range from $2,071 to $2,688 and two bedrooms, with 1,038-1,301 square feet, go for $2,655 to $3,033. All apartments have in-unit washers and dryers.
And each comes with one garage parking space, with additional spaces available at $100 apiece. The complex is currently offering a leasing concession of one free month's rent.
While the apartments have earthy tones, the common-area finishes — starting with a striking white marble tile wall in the entry foyer — go for a bolder, contemporary look.
"There's a lot of texture with bright colors to give the amenity spaces a boutique hotel feel," Boersner said.
The second-floor common spaces take advantage of Mystic River and Boston skyline views. The Lookout Lounge has wraparound windows and glass mosaic tile walls, and features a full high-end kitchen for tenant use as well as a clubroom with a two-sided gas fireplace and a billiards table.
This room opens onto an outdoor courtyard, one of two in the complex, which features a heated pool and a sundeck. There's also a fitness facility, a Wi-Fi conference room and a dedicated room for gaming consoles. The second courtyard will feature a "green" community garden.
The pet-friendly Lumiere is going for a LEED designation, and has other green features such as LED lighting as well as electric car- charging stations.
"What we're offering is elegance with an edgy touch," Tomasetti said.
