Mixed-Use Transit Oriented Redevelopment // Allston, MA Size: 292,000 sf // Architect: Stantec Allston Yards

Allston Yards, Building “A,” is a mixed-use project with a four-story residential building over a podium level. Below the podium level are two stories of lobbies, retail, fit out of a Stop & Shop grocery store with parking, storage, and MEP services. Below grade are two other stories of underground delivery corridors and parking. The site is located within the existing Stop & Shop Shopping Center parking lot area and is bound by the Mass Pike/Commuter rail line (Boston Landing Station) immediately to the north. The building is eight levels high and approximately 292,000 sf, with an overall footprint of approximately 65,000 sf. The residential apartment complex includes 165 units, an amenity space, and a fitness center. The structured parking includes approximately 295 spaces. The lower four levels of the retail structure are post-tensioned, reinforced concrete, and the upper four levels of the residential structure are wood-framed. Included with the project (early on) is the construction of an enlarged parking lot to offset the parking needs for the existing Stop & Shop Grocery Store, utility and roadway work for the future Guest and West Streets, and the demolition of the existing Home Goods/Dollar Tree building for future development.

Residential and Mixed-Use Development // Boston, MA Size: 380,000 sf // Architect: ICON Architecture Avenir

Avenir is a 241-unit ‘high-end’ rental development, with 17 below-market units, in a ten-story steel-framed structure. The structure includes 116 parking spaces, 28,000 sf of commercial space, and 7,000 sf of reworked MBTA station entries. The project is situated above and partially sup ported by the MBTA’s Orange and Green Line North Super Station structure. The building’s varied massing and texture respond to the historical context of individual buildings aggregated over time while meeting the technical challenges of building on top of a subway “superstation.”
