About 1180 Boylston

1180 Boylston Street, Chestnut Hill, Brookline, MA

Upcoming mixed-use building featuring 50 apartments to be rented to individuals 55+ and approximately 6,500 square feet of ground-floor retail.

Over 2,000 square feet of tenant amenity space will be located on the building's ground floor, including a reception lounge featuring a common area with flexible seating options, a fireplace and access to the building mailroom and management office, as well as a clubhouse room with a fireplace, large screen, wet bar and space available for private functions (4-6 people). The ground floor also houses an exclusive fitness room equipped with a virtual fitness screen available for private or small-group training. Each rental unit will be furnished with contemporary amenities, including Energy Star appliances, custom Italian kitchen cabinets, kitchen islands with waterfall edge stone tops, and walk-in closets. A few of the upper floor apartments will feature private outdoor terraces incorporated into 1180 Boylston’s façade.

The project presents multiple challenges, including implementing hydrostatic design provisions such as rock anchors due to the high water table and removal of ledge to allow for the installation of a complex foundation system comprised of both mini-piles and pipe piles providing structural support for the new mixed-use building.
