55 Brighton
55 Brighton, a 77-unit mixed-use project that marks the completion of the Packard Crossing housing development in Allston, transforms a once-underutilized site that previously housed an Auto Zone and parking lots into a vibrant and sustainable addition to the community. Paying homage to the area's manufacturing heritage, the architectural and interior design concepts reflect vibrant streetscape patterns and automotive detailing. Spanning nearly 100,000 square feet of finished space, with an additional 70,000 square feet allocated to structured parking, 55 Brighton acts as an addition to the neighborhood that seamlessly integrates with the surrounding context while addressing community needs. As part of the project team's dedication to the Allston community, local artist Alexander Golob created a series of artwork entitled 'Woven City', an installation about trains, roads, and the ways people connect with each other, which is featured throughout the public lobby. The project is currently pursuing LEED Gold certification.
