Boston’s first co-living tower proposed at Ink Block in South End

National Development has partnered with Ollie, a leading co-living and micro-housing specialist, to construct 7INK by Ollie, Boston’s first major co-living development, at Ink Block in the South End. The 14-story 7INK by Ollie would be located at the corner of Herald and Albany Streets and contain 245 shared suites and micro-studios emphasizing communal living. The proponents have filed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with the Boston Planning & Development Agency (BPDA) formally proposing the project, which would be the six-acre Ink Block development’s seventh and final building.

Ink Block currently consists of apartments, condominiums, a hotel, one of the country’s highest volume Whole Foods Markets, acclaimed restaurants, retailers and fitness studios. “7INK by Ollie and the co-living program is the logical evolution of our innovative Ink Block brand,” said Ted Tye, Managing Partner of National Development, in a prepared statement. “The built-in infrastructure of Whole Foods Market, our restaurant and fitness retailers, the soon to open AC Hotel by Marriott, and our new Underground at Ink Block art park make this a perfect location for co-living.” National Development and Ollie anticipate starting construction of 7INK by Ollie in late 2018, pending city approval.
