LUKA on the Common, at 45 Stuart Street in Boston's Theater District, is a 30-story apartment tower with 398 residences, completed in 2015 and formerly known as AVA Theater District.
AvalonBay Communities developed the building on a former parking lot next to the historic Jacob Wirth restaurant, and CBT Architects designed it, including the public and amenity spaces. The tower has a precast and glass curtain wall facade, and a five-story folded glass wall at the entry references the surrounding theaters. A pedestrian walkway through the 198-space garage links Stuart Street and LaGrange Street. The building won a 2016 Multi-Family Executive merit award for residential high-rise design. Carmel Partners acquired it in 2024 and renamed it LUKA on the Common.
Apartments include studios, lofts, and one- and two-bedroom homes. Interiors feature kitchen islands, quartz counters, stainless appliances, central air conditioning, and in-home washers and dryers, with sliding barn doors in select homes. Select homes look out over Boston Common, the Charles River, and the skyline.
Residents have a sky lounge with a deck overlooking the Common and skyline, a fitness center with a yoga studio, a pavilion lounge with gaming and entertainment space, and a lobby lounge with work-from-home space. The building also offers a concierge, an outdoor patio with a fire pit and grills, and garage parking with valet service. It is pet friendly and smoke free.
The Green and Orange Lines are about a block away and the Red Line is about four blocks away. Tufts Medical Center is next door, and Boston Common is minutes away. Nearby residences include The W Residences and The Kensington.
For renters who want a high-rise apartment with Common views and theaters at the door, LUKA on the Common offers a central home in the heart of the city.
