According to <em><a title=\"Curbed Boston\" href=\"https:\/\/boston.curbed.com\/archives\/2013\/03\/heres-whats-going-up-at-275-albany-street.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Curbed Boston<\/a><\/em>\u2019s archives from 2012, the original 275 Albany Street plans called for a two-building hotel with 408 guest rooms on the 10-block lot on the northeastern corner of South End, but the joint venture was forced to redesign everything because of National Development\u2019s highly anticipated <strong><a title=\"Former Boston Herald Building Gets New Life as Mixed-Use Complex\" href=\"https:\/\/www.multihousingnews.com\/cities\/boston\/former-boston-herald-building-gets-news-life-as-mixed-use-complex\/1004069321.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Ink Block<\/a><\/strong> building that was underway at the corner of Herald Street and Harrison Avenue. Consequently, the revised project included an apartment building with 220 units and a standalone hotel facility with 325 rooms.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Troy Boston is the final version of the Normandy\/Gerding partnership and is estimated to cost $185 million. Described as a sustainable \u201csmart growth development\u201d and expected to obtain a LEED Gold certification, this state-of-the-art mixed-use development will revitalize a key corridor in South End and reconnect the neighborhood with Chinatown, the Theater District and South Boston. As unveiled in an official statement from the developers, the mixed-use project will be built on a 1.27-acre site between Traveler and Berkeley Streets that used to be part of the original rail system from the Boston and Albany Railroad.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The plans designed by ADD Inc. architects include two residential towers totaling a mix of 340 market rate apartments and 38 affordable units, while the 6,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space will accommodate restaurants, cafes and boutique stores that are expected to create a new vibrant community for residents and visitors alike. The new development will also feature a surface parking garage for 180 cars and premier amenities including a fitness center, pool deck, and common space lounges. According to the developers, construction at Troy Boston is slated for completion in early 2015.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Renderings courtesy of Gerding Edlen &amp; Normandy Partners<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A joint venture between Morristown, NJ-based Normandy Real Estate Partners and Gerding Edlen of Portland, OR, officially broke ground on the newest residential community in Boston&rsquo;s booming South End neighborhood.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":258,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1490,21742],"tags":[1815],"class_list":["post-1004094292","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-boston","category-latest","tag-national"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.0 (Yoast SEO v28.0) -
