Residences at 945 East Broadway

Client - New Boston Ventures
South Boston, Massachusetts

Prominently located within a block of Pleasure Bay in South Boston, 945 East Broadway is one of the largest development parcels in an area known for its elegant homes and diverse community. The combined buildings provide 10 condominiums distributed across two “sister mansions.” The architecture blends into the historic neighborhood with clapboard siding, expansive windows, decks, dormers and patios. The vision—to reduce density, preserve open space, provide discrete parking, and protect the historic character of the community—is realized sensitivity and elegance.

"By building eight three-bedroom units, we were able to offer a development that was responsive to the community’s needs by reducing the unit count and density of the site while also providing true family homes that we thought buyers would love.”
David Goldman, New Boston Ventures

The two buildings were sited to preserve the most open space on the site while creating buffers to neighboring properties. Accessibility was provided through a sloped sidewalk along the existing high slope at the front of the property.

The City Point neighborhood has experienced a significant rise in popularity due to its neighborhood feel and close proximity to area beaches and parks, as well as its convenient access to downtown Boston.
