New Boston high rise condo developments 2023

Boston high rise condos and apartments for rent

Residential project proposed next to Fenway church

A developer is proposing the construction of two apartment buildings next to Fenway’s Holy Trinity Orthodox Cathedral on Park Drive.

Transom Real Estate and Harbor One Development filed a letter of intent with the Boston Planning & Development Agency on July 26 proposing the construction of two seven-story buildings with 111 residential units on a 60,753-square-foot parcel of land at 165 Park Drive.

The church is located on the same parcel and will remain. Located at the rear of the property, the project would allow for the long-term continued operations of the church, as well as repairs and landscape improvements to support the parish, while bringing affordable housing to the area, according to the filing. A significant number of the apartments will be designated as income-restricted.

Stories tall: 61
Residential units: 180 (plus 215 rooms in the Four Seasons Hotel)
Architects: Cambridge Seven Associates; Pei Cobb Freed & Partners

Four-building project on 145 and 165 Dartmouth St., Boston

Cost: $1 billion
Stories tall: 35
Residential units: 600
Architects: Arrowstreet; Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects
Developer: Boston Properties
Expected completion: Given that developer Boston Properties is dealing with the MBTA in this massive renovation, it’s stayed understandably mum on the projected arrival date.
Inside scoop: Built above Back Bay Station, this complex stands out from the pack thanks to its non-traditional tower design, which looks like a stack of crates or boxes.

Six-building project at One Congress St., Boston

Residential units: 800-plus

Expected completion: Early 2022
Inside scoop: Overlooking Boston Harbor, the North End, the Financial District, the Back Bay, and the Charles River, the mixed-use project (which boasts retail, residences, and a hotel) is impressively green, with LEED-certified buildings and a net-zero-energy pedestrian public square.

Cost: $1.3 billion
Stories tall: 53
Residential units: 500
Architects: DREAM Collaborative; Handel Architects LLP

5. South Station Tower
650 Atlantic Ave., Boston

Cost: The developers haven’t disclosed the cost, but let’s assume it’s more than an Acela ticket to New York.
Stories tall: 51
Residential units: 166
Architects: Kendall/Heaton Associates; Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects
Developers: Gemdale Properties & Investment; Hines Interests Limited Partnership
Expected completion: 2020
Inside scoop: The sleek glass tower, rising up from the center of South Station—an icon atop an icon—is designed to refract light, making it look both taller and skinnier than it actually is.

133–135 Seaport Blvd., Boston

Cost: $950 million
Stories tall: 21
Residential units: 717
Architects: CBT; Kohn Pedersen Fox
