Art Block, at 725-735 Harrison Avenue in Boston's South End, is a condominium development with 54 residences in two five-story buildings in the SoWa area, completed in 2006.
The project grew out of a City of Boston request for proposals issued by the Boston Redevelopment Authority. The city donated the land, New Atlantic Development developed the project, ICON architecture designed it, and CWC Builders built it. The two new buildings, ArtBlock East and ArtBlock West, have contemporary brick and zinc facades. The project also renovated the neighboring Joshua Bates building, dating to the late 1800s.
The 54 homes include duplex townhouses and loft-style flats. City records show residences of about 710 to 2,350 square feet. Interiors feature open, flexible layouts, large windows, high ceilings, and granite and stainless kitchens.
The buildings have lower-level parking and elevators, and the development includes gallery and exhibition space that is open to the wider neighborhood.
Art Block sits at the corner of Harrison Avenue and East Brookline Street in the SoWa arts district, surrounded by galleries, studios, and the SoWa markets. Boston Medical Center is nearby, and I-93 and the Mass Pike are easy to reach. Nearby residences include The 1850 and 700 Harrison Avenue.
With galleries on site, Art Block is closely tied to the creative energy that defines SoWa.
For buyers who want a contemporary home in the middle of Boston's arts district, Art Block offers townhouses and lofts on Harrison Avenue.
