oston – Shawmut Design and Construction has reached a milestone in its mixed-use project at 100 South Campus Drive in Allston. The development will provide sustainable housing for the Harvard University community alongside vibrant public spaces.

    The project is part of a larger transformation of 175 North Harvard Street, which includes a new home for the American Repertory Theater (A.R.T.). Marvel Architects designed the building, with Northstar Project & Real Estate Services serving as owner's project manager. Upon completion, it will feature 276 residential units and public-facing amenities.

    The building is designed to achieve both Passive House and Living Building Challenge certifications, prioritizing sustainability. "This milestone marks a significant step forward for both Harvard and Allston communities," said Kevin Sullivan, Executive Vice President of Shawmut's New England Region. "We're proud to partner with Harvard on this transformative project."

    100 South Campus Drive will emphasize eco-friendly transportation with 250 sheltered bicycle spaces and 75 automobile parking spaces. The building incorporates features such as triple-glazed windows, optimized window-to-wall ratio, and double-height glass enclosures to foster energy efficiency.

    The project reflects a balance between modern campus needs and the surrounding Allston neighborhood, ensuring it seamlessly transitions into its low-rise setting. Located alongside the new A.R.T., 100 South Campus Drive will further transform the area into a vibrant hub that fosters community connections and advances sustainability goals.
