Phase I of Charlesfort's art deco masterpiece, Hudson Park, is now completed and it is very much a byword for opulence as evidenced by the entrance lobby pictured at left.This project caused much ado for the residents of Domicile's Everett condos immediately next door (more on this later), but to give credit where credit is due, the end result is quite stunning: 17 floors housing a total of 123 condos, with 9' ceilings, a rooftop lounge and BBQ terrace, reading lounge with fireplace, and a fully appointed exercise room.
