The Macallen, at 141 Dorchester Avenue in South Boston, is a condominium building with 140 residences, completed in 2007 at the corner of Dorchester Avenue and West Fourth Street directly across from the Broadway Red Line station.
Pappas Enterprises developed The Macallen, and the design came from Office dA, the firm of Nader Tehrani and Monica Ponce de Leon, with Burt Hill as architect of record and Bovis Lend Lease as general contractor. The building earned a 2008 AIA Housing Award and an AIA/COTE Top Ten Green Project award, and its sloped green roof won a 2009 ASLA Honor Award. It was the first residential building in Boston to earn LEED Gold, with features such as a rainwater cistern, recycled-denim insulation, and a planted roof that steps down the building's profile.
Homes range from studios to three-bedroom residences, including duplex and triplex layouts, in more than 30 different floor plans. Floor-to-ceiling windows, hardwood or bamboo floors, gas cooking, and in-unit laundry are typical, and some upper-level homes have private terraces.
Residents have a 24-hour concierge, a heated terrace pool with grills, a screening room, bike storage, a dog wash, and a garage with on-site car sharing. The Macallen shares a condominium association with Court Square Press across the street, where the shared fitness center is located.
The Broadway Red Line station is across the street, and South Station and the Financial District are one stop away. The South End, Fort Point, and the Seaport are all within walking distance, and West Broadway's restaurants are a few blocks east. Nearby residences include 14 West Broadway.
For buyers who want award-winning modern architecture with green credentials and the Red Line at the door, The Macallen remains one of South Boston's landmark condominiums.
