Landscaped Areas Complement New Development
Allston Green is a new multi-family residential development bringing a much-needed community green and civic spaces to one of the densest neighborhoods in Boston. This three-building complex, developed by LBC Boston with architecture by PCA and assistance from our landscape architects, creates two significant open spaces, accessible to the public and residents alike.
The large neighborhood green at the corner of Pratt and Linden Street offers a variety of flexible-use spaces—including a central lawn, a civic plaza with unique swing structures, and a tree-shaded plaza, with varied seating opportunities throughout—to encourage a wide variety of neighborhood activities.
A smaller landscaped courtyard, which is contemplative and peaceful in character, creates a green oasis in the tight urban setting, accentuated by plantings and various seating types.
These open spaces are complemented by active ground-floor amenity spaces expected to be activated and programmed in association with the thriving local arts community, including a gallery, co-working arts space, and work/live artist units that open onto the park.
