Alta Stone Place, located in the former industrial area off of Washington St., is nearing completion of its final phase of construction. The three year conversion of the historic Boston Rubber Shoe Co. mill and adjacent buildings into a luxury rental community also included a complete renovation of the mill's historic smoke stack. Wood Partners is developing the community and Bargmann Hendrie + Archetype, Inc. is the project architect. PROCON is the general contractor for the residential project.
In the project's second phase, Building D, located at 4000 Stone Place, began construction in August of 2013. Once completed, it will contain 52 residential units above a podium parking structure within the 4-story wood frame building. It is immediately adjacent to the historic smoke stack that was restored during construction. Occupancy of building D is slated for mid to late November.
The second half of this phase includes the renovated of the 200 year old, Boston Rubber Shoe Co.'s mill buildings. These two, 4-story brick and wood-beam mill buildings were converted into one, 93-unit residence. A podium style addition was built between them to bridge the space, providing a sheltered walkway beneath featuring an art installation of original artifacts from the building such as gears, drill press, pulley wheels. Units in this building include features such as extended height windows, exposed brick and timber, and 12' to 22' ceilings. Each unit is unique, some featuring dormers, arched windows, ground-level patios, or a bonus room inside of the building's tower. This building, located at 2000 Stone Place, will be ready for occupancy in late January 2015.
The community is comprised of 212 units including studio to three-bedroom apartments ranging from 552 to 1,450 s/f. More than 285 parking spaces will accommodate residents, both at ground level and beneath the two podium style buildings.
Phase one began in the fall of 2011 with Building A, located at 1000 Stone Place. This 3-story wood framed structure contains 27 apartments and the community's clubhouse. The clubhouse spans nearly half of the building's first floor and features amenities such as two fitness rooms, a great room with kitchenette, media room, cyber café/business center, and conference room. It is also home to the leasing office and access to the outdoor patio and heated pool. This building was completed and ready for occupancy in the winter of 2012.
Building B, located at 3000 Stone Place, was also constructed during this phase. A 4-story wood frame building with 40 apartments above a podium parking structure, this building saw its first occupants in the winter of 2013.
