Project Details
Pier 7 – Charlestown Navy Yard
In addition to the master plan at Charlestown Navy Yard, Finegold Alexander designed a new luxury condominium community situated on the 720-foot long Pier 7 in the center of the inner harbor overlooking downtown Boston. The multi-level design for 66 new townhouses features units along the west side of the pier, facing the city. Along the eastern edge of the pier, another row of units is raised on a new deck level with parking below. An internal street runs the length of the pier between rows of units.
The condominiums are set at an angle along the pier to maximize the spectacular harbor views. At intermediate points along the Boston side, the townhouses step back from the edge to form bridges above the internal street and to create open spaces with look-overs along the water. The overall expansiveness of the complex suggests ship-like forms and recalls the industrial structures nearby.
