There are many families around the world who travel to Boston for extensive or specialized health care, but do not have the money for an extended stay at a hotel.That’s where Hospitality Homes comes in.
The Boston-based non-profit has volunteer host homes in several Boston suburbs as well as a permanent apartment in Reservoir Towers in Brighton owned by Gerald Schuster, a Boston-area philanthropist and president and CEO of Continental Wingate Company.
Schuster and staff members at Hospitality Homes estimate the Reservoir Towers apartment, located between Chestnut Hill Ave. and Commonwealth Ave., has hosted about 70 different families since 2003.
“It’s been a wonderful relationship over the years,” said Schuster. Today, a couple from Kentucky is settling in to the apartment as the wife prepares to undergo cancer treatment at Brigham & Women’s and Dana-Farber.

Photo Release -- Group Boston Real Estate Named Exclusive Agent for Clippership Wharf

Clippership Wharf is ideally located on the burgeoning East Boston waterfront with unsurpassed views of Boston Harbor and the Boston Skyline. The property has superior access to public transportation with the newly renovated Maverick Square MBTA subway station located adjacent to the entrance to the property, providing access to downtown Boston and Logan Airport. With the Boston apartment market strengthening rapidly, the project owner Winn Development, is looking to capitalize on the strong demand for multifamily development in Boston.

Michael Carucci, Managing Partner of Group Boston Real Estate, said, "We are pleased to have the opportunity to assist Winn with this exciting project. With the property's impressive views and superior access to transportation, coupled with the city of Boston's renewed support for the East Boston waterfront, Clippership Wharf is poised to become a signature development in the revitalization of East Boston."

Aaron Wolfe, Vice President of Group Boston Real Estate, said, "East Boston represents one of the final frontiers in the transformation of the Boston Waterfront. With the ground breaking of the Fan Pier and Pier Four scheduled in 2012, South Boston's water front is now largely established creating significant potential in East Boston."

Clippership Wharf is located just off Maverick Square and the Jeffries Point neighborhood. Upon completion, Clippership Wharf will be one of metropolitan Boston area's premier apartment communities, with spectacular views of Boston and the harbor. With the prospect of a major casino development at Suffolk Downs, the economic incentives to redevelop East Boston's aging infrastructure are higher than ever.
