CONSTRUCTION TOPS OUT FOR THE CLARENDON

BOSTON — Construction has topped out for The Clarendon, a 33-story residential tower under development in the Back Bay neighborhood of Boston. The project consists of 103 one- to four-bedroom condominiums starting on the 15th floor, as well as 178 rental residences, more than three dozen of which will be designated affordable housing. The Clarendon will also include a signature restaurant and a gourmet market operated by American Food Management. The post office that formerly occupied the property will relocate to the building upon completion in late 2009. The project will be applying for LEED-Silver certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. It is being developed by a joint venture between New York-based Related Cos. and Boston-based The Beal Companies. The project was designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects.
