Affordable Multi-Family High-Rise // Boston, MA Size: 132,000 sf // Architect: The Architectural Team 41 LaGrange

Construction is underway on this 126-unit, 100% affordable high-rise building. The units will consist of studio, one-, and two-bedroom units. The 19-story, cast-in-place structure with a mechanical penthouse features two concrete cores. The center includes two elevators and stairs, while the west consists of stairs only. The building will have multiple envelope assemblies (precast, metal panel, party wall construction punched windows (Peerless), and curtainwall (levels 1 and 2). The primary electric vault will be at ground level, with secondary electric on level two, emergency electric on the roof, emergency generator (fuel oil) on the roof, Electric VRF HVAC system, and fire pump on the ground level. The building is being constructed on a very tight, logistically challenged site. Risk mitigation includes constant clear communication to ensure subcontractor team members understand the Second Shift delivery sequence, a tower crane internal to the building that will require floor infills and “go back” by all subcontractors, and a double man and material hoist on Lagrange Street to service all floors.
