TOCCI has been selected as the construction manager for an exciting new multifamily development at 1270 Commonwealth Ave in Boston’s Allston neighborhood, a project backed by Hines and Benenson Capital Partners. This development is set to deliver over 200 rental residences and aims to respond to the pressing need for housing in a rapidly growing area.
Covering an impressive 189,000 square feet, the new passive house multifamily development will feature more than 200 apartments. In addition to residential units, the project will include over 20,000 square feet of amenity space, both indoor and outdoor, complemented by ground-floor retail options. Such amenities are designed to foster active urban living, offering residents convenient access to transportation, employment opportunities, and local community services.
Located along one of Boston’s busiest corridors, the development is perfectly positioned to cater to the area’s increasing housing demand. This strategic placement not only emphasizes the project’s accessibility to public transit but also integrates infrastructure improvements to benefit residents and the larger community. Homeowners and renters will find themselves well-connected to other parts of the city.
Construction on the 1270 Commonwealth Ave. project is set to commence in June 2025, with plans for a groundbreaking ceremony anticipated at the end of the same year. Substantial completion and availability of the residential units are expected by the summer of 2027. TOCCI’s familiarity with the area’s logistics and permitting processes positions the company for efficient project delivery, with an emphasis on minimal disruption to the surrounding neighborhood during construction.
TOCCI is prioritizing a high-quality living experience for future residents of the development. The managing principal at TOCCI has highlighted the company’s commitment to integrating affordable units within the project, while aiming for high sustainability goals and exceptional design standards. This approach is especially significant given the financial challenges that often accompany large construction projects.
The project aligns with broader efforts to enhance housing availability across eastern Massachusetts, particularly following the recent dismissal of a lawsuit against the MBTA Communities Act. This Act was designed to spur housing development in the region, aiming to promote new zoning reforms in communities like Lexington and Westwood. Such legislation has laid the groundwork for successful housing projects, paving the way for developments like the one at 1270 Commonwealth Ave.
As TOCCI embarks on this important construction project, the new multifamily development is poised to make a significant impact on Boston’s housing landscape. By addressing the need for more residential units in a prime location and focusing on quality, affordability, and sustainability, this development exemplifies the city’s shift towards creating inclusive urban environments.
