Building Description

The Ropewalk, in an extraordinary granite building along the northern boundary of the Charlestown Navy Yard, is a modern waterfront community that showcases area's historic beauty. A former ropewalk facility, this building now features 97 rental units. The developer has woven original elements of the factory into the composition without sacrificing form or function. An artful blend of a subtle color palette and sophisticated finishes with raw materials — granite, brick, steel and wooden beams — produces a refined yet dramatic effect, imparting a feeling of gravitas uncommonly found in residential apartment buildings.
