265-Home Mid-Rise Community Welcomes Residents to Boston's Allston Neighborhood
Quarterra Group, a subsidiary of Lennar Corporation and a dynamic real estate investment and development firm, has proudly announced the commencement of leasing at Harper, a vibrant mid-rise community nestled in the artistic Allston neighborhood of Boston. This appealing project enhances the area's residential offerings, positioning itself in a district renowned for its artistic energy and cultural vibrancy.
Harper contributes 265 modern apartment homes, further enriching Allston, which stands as Boston's hub for art displays, distinctive music venues, and an exciting dining and nightlife atmosphere. This community has become increasingly favored by young professionals and students, thanks to its proximity to prominent institutions such as Harvard University, MIT, Boston College, Tufts University, and Boston University.
Dan Lee, Managing Director of Quarterra Group's Northeast Division, shares, "Allston is Boston's artistic and intellectual epicenter, presenting residents with boundless cultural opportunities. Harper is perfectly situated allowing residents to appreciate neighborhood offerings while enjoying serene moments on multiple rooftop decks, engaging with interactive streetscapes, and wandering through beautifully landscaped green spaces. This community truly embodies the dynamic spirit of Allston, offering an unparalleled living experience."
At 40 Rugg Road, Harper's prime location ensures residents have quick access to numerous cultural gems. Notable attractions such as the Museum of Fine Arts and the Honan-Allston Branch of the Boston Public Library, alongside popular events like the Allston Village Street Fair, are within reach. Surrounding parks and recreational facilities like Magazine Beach, Ringer Playground, and Arsenal Community Park further enhance the community's appeal. Additionally, residents can enjoy the thrill of nearby sports venues, including the historic Fenway Park, home of the Red Sox, and practice facilities for the Boston Bruins and Celtics.
Moreover, Harper is conveniently located within walking distance of Allston's bustling retail, dining, and nightlife scene. The Allston Yards mixed-use development, featuring a 67,000 square foot flagship grocery store, is a quarter mile away. Just half a mile away, the Boston Landing campus hosts an array of shops and restaurants and serves as a hub for major employers such as New Balance and WGBH-TV.
This community's connectivity is bolstered by its close proximity to various public transit options. The Boston Landing MBTA Commuter Rail station is easily accessible, offering direct routes to Boston’s major entertainment and commercial centers, including Fenway and the financial district. The Harvard Avenue Station of the MBTA Green light rail station is also just half a mile away, ensuring exceptional transit connectivity. Highway access via the Mass Pike (I-90) and other major thoroughfares is just minutes away.
Offering a diverse array of units, Harper includes studio, one, and two-bedroom apartments, ranging from 450 to 1,120 square feet, alongside eight specially designed artist studio units. Each apartment boasts premium features such as stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, elegant flooring, keyless entries, and movable islands in select floor plans.
Residents will enjoy access to a richly designed club room with a fireplace lounge, a state-of-the-art fitness studio, co-working spaces complete with a private conference room, artist studios, a dog run and pet spa, along with bike storage areas and automated parking garages. Harper's spacious landscape includes two rooftop decks, 11,000 square feet of green areas, interactive streetscapes, and ground-floor retail space, all designed with environmental sustainability in mind to achieve LEED Gold certification.
