Situated just outside Boston, this new 395 unit multifamily community development brings many urban-market amenities to a suburban atmosphere, over five multi-story buildings. Outdoor living is at the heart of this complex, with an expansive rooftop deck atop building three. Residents enjoy an outdoor heated pool with surrounding hardscape and social spaces, as well as a unique on-site dog park.
Utilizing existing structural building pads from an earlier-abandoned project, TAT developed a compelling site plan. Upon discovering the existing building pads were undersized for some of the new building footprints, an innovate solution emerged.
By cantilevering the structural floor slab beyond the dimensions of the available foundation, TAT achieved the necessary building footprints. To ensure the complex fits the surrounding neighborhood, the buildings are positioned by height — with the shorter buildings placed towards the front of the complex. Varied exterior finishes and paint colors work to further reduce the visual bulk of the new buildings.
