If the lines are any indication, the cupcake company Sweet is a new
Downtown Crossing hit. Historic Boston Inc. welcomes this very saavy home-grown Boston business as our new retail tenant at 9 School Street. They’ve been expanding rapidly with stores on Newbury Street, in Harvard Square and now Downtown. And they produce these luscious sweets daily in Hyde Park, a neighborhood within which HBI’s has some very focused preservation projects underway.
About six months ago, CEO Courtney Forrester came in to pitch her business for a space we had available after long time business Copley Flair departed. Wisely, she brought a big box of product with her (see photo) and she took the time to print up our logo on the top of each one. We all sat seriously through the meeting, negotiating square footage costs, tenant fit outs and utility payments, but after one bite of Sweet cupcakes, we were (secretly) sold.
Lest you think we’re a bunch of sugar fiends, let’s make the most important things clear.
But Sweet and all our other retail and office tenants at the Old Corner are important because their lease payments support HBI’s mission of rehabilitating at-risk historic buildings throughout the city of Boston. A vacancy in this building means fewer resources to invest in wonderful places that could do the same thing for Dudley Square, JP Center or Fields Corner. So, whether it’s Brueggers Bagels, the Body Shop, Oakmont Partners, or Sweet, Historic Boston Inc. is happiest when our Old Corner is humming with business.
Historic Boston Inc.’s 50 years of preservation work saves places for future generations and defines the unique character of Boston, but we think it’s pretty good economic development too.

ReplyDeleteMargo - I agree!
ReplyDeleteThe premises is located on Mandrake's famous boardwalk, neighboring other high profile businesses such as Cinderella's and the Dome Cafe. Previously housing Miami Bakehouse, the building. Thanks a lot.
ReplyDeleteThe agency soon outgrew the modest office and moved to a prominent position on the major entrance into mandurah, opposite the estuary, and after a number of extensions and renovations over the years it is still the home of the business. A prominent position opposite acres of the beautiful foreshore reserve, a mecca for day trippers from the city. Thanks a lot.
ReplyDeleteThis provision states that the Buyer is not bound by the agreement until he examined all of the documents demanded on the condominium checklist. This provision gives the Lessor a certain number of days after the lease is signed to provide the documents. The provision mandates that the Lessee must review the documents within a certain number of days. Thanks a lot.

ReplyDeleteThis might sounds little strange but I have been doing research on cellulite and caffeine helps to reduce cellulite, so instead of buying expensive products I want to know is it better to have pure caffeine in the morning.
