Under-construction: Residential - 34 rental apartments

     11 E. Lenox Street is the 5th building BREC has developed on the block between Newcomb Street and East Lenox Street, and the first to pursue passive house certification. The new building will be situated on an infill lot and feature 34 residential apartments, including four onsite income-restricted units. The project abandons standard podium-style construction and carbon-intensive building materials through its use of cross-laminated-timber (CLT) structural members and floor assemblies. The result is an environmentally conscious, highly efficient building that takes less time to build, with units that are more attractive and safer. 

     The project received approval from the Massachusetts Board of Building Regulations and Standards in September 2020 and was approved by the Boston Planning and Development Agency on December 17th, 2020. It was also approved by the Zoning Board of Appeals on January 26, 2021. Construction began June 2021, with completion slated for Late Summer/Fall 2022.
