1350 Boylston Topping Out

Skanska USA has recently topped out 1350 Boylston in The Fenway, a 17-story, 183,000-square-foot residential tower with 212 apartments and approximately 7,000 square feet of ground-floor retail. Nearly 130 construction workers have dedicated approximately 90,000 work hours to achieve this milestone, which marks the completion of structural steel erection on the neighborhood’s next premier, luxury building targeting LEED Gold certification.

1350 Boylston is walking distance to some of Boston’s most iconic entertainment and sporting venues, cultural destinations and healthcare and educational institutions. At the intersection of Boylston and Kilmarnock Streets, the residences are proximate to the MBTA’s Green Line and the Yawkey commuter rail station, as well as vibrant retail including Target and Sephora; fast-casual dining and coffee shops such as sweetgreen, Saloniki Greek, Pavement and Tasty Burger, as well as trendy eateries like Tiger Mama and Hojoko.

The company broke ground on 1350 Boylston last winter with an intimate ceremony benefitting Boston Arts Academy in Fenway, attended by Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh. The construction team has formed a close relationship with the nearby McKinley Preparatory High School with employees dedicating time to educating McKinley’s students about the construction process, while painting a mural on the site’s plywood fencing (pictured above). Prior to the tower’s excavation, Skanska activated the site with “1350 Boylston Food Truck Alley” providing a pop-up dining destination for the neighborhood.
