Avalon North Station - Boston, MA

Boston, MA On Wednesday, December 2, executives from AvalonBay Communities Inc. and John Moriarty Associates placed the final beam on the 38-story residential tower, Avalon North Station, bringing a new vibrancy to the city’s North Station and a new elegance to the city skyline.

“Avalon North Station is a celebration of smart-growth, sustainable design and contemporary urban living,” said Scott Dale, AvalonBay’s senior vice president for development. “These new apartment homes will help in the transformation of the North Station area and is yet another example of our commitment to the city of Boston.”

The $250 million development, located next to TD Garden and North Station, is also being hailed for filling an existing void in the city’s bustling urban fabric. When complete, the area’s new residents will enjoy easy access to many of the city’s great neighborhoods and attractions. Avalon North Station will create new connections between the West End, the North End and the Rose Kennedy Greenway.

The 38-story tower, which has been designed by CBT Architects, will consist of 503 residential units, offering studio, one, two, and three bedroom apartment homes. This new mixed-used apartment building will offer first-class amenities, including a fitness center, Wi-Fi café and lounge, communal meeting and workspace, bicycle repair and workshop and a sky lounge and rooftop terrace on the 35^th floor with views of the Boston Harbor and Financial District.
