Related Rentals announced today the launch of leasing at The Arlington, a historic Boston landmark reimagined as the most exciting luxury rental residences in the city. A joint venture between Related Companies, the developer behind the neighboring One Back Bay and The Clarendon, and The Congress Group, The Arlington embodies the ideal combination of classic architecture and modern living in Boston’s vibrant Back Bay neighborhood. With an unprecedented level of amenities and service, The Arlington’s 128 modern one- and two-bedroom apartments will offer residents luxury living at its best—a Boston landmark for contemporary living. Initial occupancy is slated for mid-April.
Located at 100 Arlington Street at Stuart Street, The Arlington provides an extraordinary selection of metropolitan residences with natural white oak hardwood flooring in the living areas, polished marble countertops and custom wood cabinetry in the kitchens and bathrooms, contemporary lighting fixtures, spacious customized closets and stainless steel appliances. All residences come equipped with a washer/dryer and resident-controlled heating and air conditioning.
“When we first envisioned this development, our goal was to offer a modern living environment personified by the classic architecture of Boston’s revered Back Bay,” said Daria Salusbury, senior vice president of Related Rentals. “Our vision has come to life. The Arlington will provide Boston’s premier living experience with graciously appointed living spaces and amenities that cater to every aspect of our residents' lifestyle and we look forward to introducing the building to the city of Boston.”
Constructed in 1927, The Arlington is a celebrated icon in the city of Boston, well-known as the former Boston Renaissance Charter Public School. Co-developed by Related Companies and The Congress Group and re-envisioned by Elkus Manfredi Architects, The Arlington underwent a meticulous repurposing effort to modernize the renaissance revival property while maintaining its historic features. Classical characteristics of the property include the limestone and brick facade, dramatic two-story arched windows on the street and top level and antique wall moldings. Adhering to Related’s nationwide commitment to green development, the smoke-free Arlington was also designed to meet LEED Silver Certification standards, the benchmark for high-performance sustainable design from the U.S. Green Building Council.
Dean F. Stratouly, president of Congress Group, said, “Redeveloping this turn-of-the-century landmark property was a unique opportunity and we are thrilled to introduce the market to The Arlington. Back Bay is one of Boston’s most established and vibrant neighborhoods and the lifestyle offering we have created by combining classic architecture with modern conveniences is compelling and will undoubtedly have tremendous appeal.”
The Arlington boasts an address of incomparable convenience, with the best of Boston at its doorstep. Just blocks from the Public Garden and renowned shops at Copley and along Newbury Street, The Arlington is located within walking distance of Boston’s theatre district, downtown area and prestigious South End. The property is surrounded by restaurants, boutiques, nightlife venues, hotels, museums and other small retail businesses. In addition, The Arlington is in close proximity to multiple T and bus lines, as well as the commuter rail at Boston’s Back Bay Station, offering residents easy access to all modes of public transportation.
Building amenities at The Arlington, curated by interior designer CBT, will also enhance residents’ daily lives. These include a state-of-the-art private fitness center, indoor basketball court, private residents’ lounge, game room with billiards and a shuffleboard table, ample resident storage including bike storage and sports equipment storage and access to Zipcar service and Zagster’s bike share program. Residents' four-legged friends will be catered to with an on-site pet spa.
Related’s commitment to service is exemplified through RelatedStyle Services®, a suite of exclusive benefits designed to enhance each resident’s lifestyle. Residents of The Arlington will have access to move-in coordinators to handle every last detail from choosing the best moving service to handling utility and technology setup and personal assistants, who, with a phone call or email, can help with almost any request such as dinner reservations or theatre tickets and housekeeping and dry cleaning services. The needs of every resident will be catered to with 24-hour concierge and doorman services.
Residents will also have access to Liquid Art House, Boston’s first restaurant, winery and art gallery all under one roof, which will be occupying over 10,000 square feet on the ground floor of The Arlington. Liquid Art House is scheduled to open in April.
"Liquid Art House is thrilled to curate an 'art hospitality' experience for the residents of The Arlington," says creator Ruta Laukien. "Our partnership brings the vibrancy of a perpetual art fair to the building and the convenience of in-home dining and private catering services to residents."
