660 Washington, formerly Archstone Boston Common, at 660 Washington Street in Downtown Boston, is a 28-story rental apartment building with 420 residences, completed in 2006 by Archstone-Smith at the corner of Washington and Essex Streets.
Designed by the Cambridge firm ADD Inc, the glass tower was the first high-rise residential project built downtown in more than 20 years, and the first high-rise rental since The Devonshire opened in the early 1980s. The architects set the tower back 15 feet at the sixth and thirteenth floors so that its lower stories match the scale of the surrounding streets and of the historic Liberty Tree Building next door. Equity Residential acquired the property with Archstone's portfolio in 2013 and operates it today.
Residences range from studios of about 550 square feet to three-bedroom, two-bath homes of about 1,540 square feet. Many have bay windows, and homes were originally finished with granite counters and stainless appliances, with balconies and fireplaces in select units. Renovated homes now include in-unit washers and dryers and smart-home features.
Amenities include a heated indoor lap pool, a 24-hour fitness center, a massage room, a resident club room, a rooftop lounge with city views, a business center and a parking garage, with a 24-hour concierge at the front desk.
The Chinatown Orange Line station is on the same block, and the Boylston Green Line station is a short walk. Boston Common and the Public Garden are about two blocks away, and the Boston Opera House, the Wang Theatre and the rest of the Theater District surround the building. Millennium Place is nearby on Washington Street.
660 Washington remains one of the larger rental towers in the heart of downtown Boston.
