135 Bremen Street
The new market-rate multifamily housing project at 135 Bremen Street in East Boston will feature a six-story steel-framed building with 94 residential units and approximately 5,000 square feet of commercial/retail space on the first floor. The ground level will also include an interior parking garage with 49 spaces, utilizing automated parking stackers to maximize efficiency. Designed with a U-shaped layout, the building will feature a central courtyard at its entrance, incorporating pavers, planting beds, and a green roof above the entryway.
A key challenge of this project is its construction directly over the MBTA Blue Line, requiring ground improvements to ensure structural stability while minimizing disruptions to transit operations. The building’s design integrates modern construction techniques to mitigate vibrations and enhance long-term durability. Sustainable elements, including the green roof and high-efficiency building systems, will contribute to environmental performance and energy savings. Situated in a prime transit-oriented location, this development will enhance East Boston’s growing residential landscape, providing high-quality housing and retail opportunities. The project supports a walkable, urban lifestyle, with easy access to public transportation, local businesses, and community amenities, making it a valuable addition to the neighborhood.
