The Kensington, at 665 Washington Street in Boston's Theater District, is a 27-story luxury apartment tower with 381 residences, completed in 2013.
Developed by Kensington Investment Company with National Development, designed by The Architectural Team, and built by Suffolk Construction, the tower rose on the site of the former Gaiety Theater on a block that links the Theater District, Chinatown, and Downtown Crossing. Its aluminum curtain wall, precast concrete, and metallic panels give it a sleek profile, and it earned LEED Gold certification. The building also features a collection of more than 50 works of art. In 2026, the property was acquired by Ponte Gadea.
Apartments range from studios to three-bedroom homes and penthouses. Interiors include in-unit washers and dryers, expansive windows, high ceilings, walk-in closets, oak hardwood floors, European flat-panel cabinets, recycled glass counters, and stainless steel appliances, and penthouses add taller ceilings, custom closets, and a storage unit.
The sixth-floor Club Kensington is the heart of the amenity package, with an outdoor pool on the sky deck, grills and a fireplace, a 3,350-square-foot fitness center, a yoga studio, a lounge with billiards, a business center and meeting rooms, a solarium, and a library. Residents also have a 24-hour concierge and doorman, a pet spa, a private parking garage, bike storage, and electric vehicle charging, plus a coffee shop at street level.
Orange and Red Line stops are steps from the front door, and the Paramount Theatre, the Boston Opera House, Boston Common, and Downtown Crossing are a short walk. Nearby residences include Ritz-Carlton Residences Boston Common.
For renters who want a full-service high-rise with resort-style amenities in the middle of Boston's theater and dining scene, The Kensington offers a convenient downtown home.
