35 @ Eight Sixty

860 Harrison Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts 02118

The waitlist is not very long for apartments at 35 @ Eight Sixty, the new name to reflect new ownership and an extensive renovation of the former Northampton Square. Located in the South End/Lower Roxbury neighborhood of Boston, it is across Massachusetts Avenue from the Boston Medical Center and the Boston University Medical Campuses. The complex currently consists of a 29-story residential and commercial building at 35 Northampton Street and a 12-story residential building at 860 Harrison Avenue.

The 165,000 square foot tower at 35 Northampton Street provides 245 apartments. They include a mix of 242 studios, of which 8 will be handicapped accessible, and 3 one-bedroom units, all of which are handicapped accessible.

In the 860 Harrison Avenue Tower there are 102 apartments, including 54 studios, 22 one-bedroom apartments and 26 two-bedroom apartments. A new, 2,700-square-foot connector building provides one entry for both towers. It includes a residential lobby, mailroom, management office and new elevator.

Renovations include new mechanical and electrical systems, façade repairs and improvements, a new roof, elevator upgrades, new laundry rooms, and improved security systems. The apartments have upgraded kitchens, low-flow plumbing fixtures, and energy efficient windows with new blinds.
