Inspired by early 20th Century factory architecture, Treadmark strikes a modern figure against the brick-stone backdrop of Peabody Square.
It adds vibrancy to the surrounding neighborhood and is conveniently located at the southern end of the MBTA’s Red Line, at Ashmont Station.
Treadmark is an 83 unit six-story sustainable transit oriented development that maintains a strong visual connection to the former Ashmont Tire auto shop it replaced. Designed to achieve LEED-H MFMR Certification, the $45M mixed-use, mixed-income building is enveloped in gray ironspot brickwork interspersed with clean, vertical aluminum panels that give the structure a distinctly modern feel.
Stylistically, the exterior’s straight edges and angular corners set the building apart from the surrounding redbrick landscape. Large, garage-bay-style openings on the ground floor lead foot-traffic into the sizable 5,000 square foot retail spaces: another aesthetic and functional nod to the site’s industrial roots. Interiors by designer, Taniya Nayak.
