Two new gourmet restaurants will
join The Gallows gastropub on Washington Street
BOSTON, MA Gibson
Sothebys International Realty, Bostons largest independent real
estate company, announced today the incoming occupants of 1401 and
1405 Washington Street in Bostons South End.
Pam Holian and
Ron Geddes of Gibson Sothebys International Realty
represented the building owner in the sale of the property, which
included seaside fish market Morse Fish Company and local pizzeria
Harry Os Pizza. Instead, patrons will enjoy fresh grab- and-go
pastas from Black Jack Pasta Bar and mindfully-sourced flatbreads
from Union Park Pizza. The Gallows,
the adjacent gastropub which opened in 2010, will remain at 1395
Washington Street and continue to serve distinguished burgers and
other innovative menu offerings to the South End community.
Having known Morse Fish Company owner John Blacker for so many
years, we were thrilled to represent him in this significant sale,
commented Pam Holian, a veteran real estate professional based in
Gibson Sothebys International Realtys South End office. This makes
a terrific statement for the South End neighborhood and city of
Boston. We will remember both Morse Fish Company and Harry Os Pizza
by their impeccable level of food quality, neighborly service and
long-standing contributions to the community.
This transition is very bittersweettwo highly regarded
businesses are departing the premises, but we are pleased we found
buyers who will preserve its storied legacy while maximizing the
propertys potential as a promising new neighborhood resource, added
Ron Geddes, who has served as the Senior Commercial Sales Associate
at Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty for over twenty-five
years.
Renowned developer Peter Georgantas has served as a leader in
the Boston real estate development community for over 20 years and
has developed numerous buildings in the South End neighborhood.
The authentic cuisine and atmosphere of both restaurants will
preserve the propertys legacy as a destination spot and beloved
gathering place for locals and visitors alike, asserted Georgantas,
Principal of Georgantas Design and Development (formally Peg
Properties and Design) and the developer behind Chevron on Tremont,
a prominent South End condominium building. Chevron on Tremont
transformed an underutilized corner while still maintaining the
neighborhoods historic, urban character. Our objective for the
development on Washington Street remains thesame. I look forward to
further celebrating the South End as the most sought after
neighborhood in the city.
Famous for its fish and chips and fried clams, among other
items, Morse Fish Company was the oldest fish market in Boston. It
has had only three owners since its opening in 1903, offering fresh
fish for market sale and everything from fried shrimp and haddock
to grilled swordfish with rice and broccoli. Harry Os Pizza opened
over 30 years ago, serving such items as pizza, calzones, pasta
dishes, subs, grill items, and salads.
I am so grateful for the communitys decades-long patronage and
support, stated Morse Fish Company owner John Blacker. Our business
has evolved into a cherished neighborhood institution, and I
anticipate that the community will show the same reverence for the
inbound establishments.
The fresh new eateries are expected to occupy the building in
early October.
