PCA designed South Standard at Washington Village now complete

South Boston, MA Rising from an underutilized industrial site and abutting a residential neighborhood, the 214-unit residence, South Standard and its adjacent outdoor public space The Green, opened as the cornerstone piece of the five-acre Washington Village mixed-use development in the Andrew Sq. neighborhood.

Developed by Samuels & Associates and designed by Cambridge-based architecture and interior design firm PCA, South Standard fulfills the shared vision of the Washington Village development team, the Andrew Sq. Civic Association, and the city of Boston.

“In partnership with Intercontinental Real Estate Corp. and Core Investments, Inc., we are thrilled to celebrate the completion of South Standard,” said Peter Sougarides, principal at Samuels & Associates. “With residents now settling into the property, it’s incredible to see the vision for this development come to life, bringing meaningful benefits to the community and vibrancy to Andrew Sq.”

The design features intimate, luxurious spaces that provide an appealing urban living experience within a short walk of the MBTA’s Red Line. South Standard offers floorplans ranging from studio apartments to three-bedroom units for working professionals and families. Each apartment design features expansive views, natural light, and modern finishes.

“The development and design team could not have reached this opening milestone without the invaluable feedback of the Andrew Sq. Civic Association, and the Andrew Square community,” said Mark Eclipse, principal at PCA. “The community was enthusiastic and supportive of the opportunity to transform the underutilized properties and create a live, work, and play village that activates Andrew Sq. and builds up a sustainable and safe neighborhood.”

Adjacent to South Standard is The Green at Washington Village, a vibrant open green space hosting neighborhood-focused programs including outdoor fitness sessions and live music performances. Additional tenant amenities include an enclosed courtyard featuring lush greenery and areas to gather, an elevated lounge with skyline views, a fitness center, and a dog grooming spa.
