New Boston Ventures + RISE celebrate topping off of Nevins Hill

Brighton, MA As New Boston Ventures and RISE celebrate the topping off of Nevins Hill in Brighton — placing the last steel beam atop the 55-unit residential building — the team also said that Nevins Hill will come to market with post-pandemic health and wellness design considerations.

Located atop a hill with views of the city, this project consists of 55 luxury condominiums, with indoor and outdoor amenity space, enclosed parking, and private roof deck access for penthouse residents.

New Boston Ventures worked with RISE for preconstruction, design review and budgeting.

J. Garland Enterprises is the architect, and Charlesgate Realty is the exclusive brokerage agency.

The building features several amenities and facilities that support healthy living in a post-pandemic era and is on schedule to be one of the first to come to market with this healthy building focus.

Innovative technology solutions to achieve healthy lifestyle standards include robust individual unit HVAC Systems. In addition, common areas, such as shared corridors, lobby, and amenity spaces, will utilize heating and cooling units with added purification systems via ultraviolet light to reduce airborne and surface bacteria, viruses, and even common allergens.

A mobile app will allow residents touchless elevator travel. KONE Elevator Call is a cloud-based solution that allows a user to call an elevator with their smartphone, without touching elevator buttons.

Interior features also include three Zoom Rooms in the ground floor common area with desks and acoustically designed walls and finishes. 21 of the larger units will also offer glass spaces that can be used as a den or a home office.

Capitalizing on the natural surroundings and nearby Fidelis Way Park, Nevins Hill features outdoor community green space with BBQ offerings, areas to gather with friends or enjoy the outdoors, and a noteworthy outdoor wellness and gym area. A common roof deck will be accessible to all building tenants. Nevins Hill offers Boston skyline views from units and roof decks.

Beyond the health of tenants, Nevins Hill was designed with a concerted effort to minimize impacts to the environment. For instance, 14 electric car charger locations will be available in and around the building.

“This community is really unique in that the area already offered a superior quality of life environment with skyline views, a public park, and a wonderful neighborhood location,” said David Goldman, principal of New Boston Ventures. “We then seized the opportunity to elevate the living experience by adding beneficial, health-focused amenities to these luxury condos.”

“Our team was excited to work on this innovative project, said Herby Duverné, co-founder of RISE.

“Quality of life standards is something RISE continues to push the envelope on in all our communities. It is a true honor to collaborate with likeminded companies that want to go above and beyond.”
