The Smith, Boston, MA.

The Smith, a multi-family residence located at 89 East Dedham Street in Boston’s South End, serves as the inaugural structure in a transformative 300 unit residential and maker space development. Designed with sustainability and community at its core, The Smith has earned LEED Silver and Fitwel certifications, offering a forward thinking urban living experience. Featuring expansive green spaces, artist lofts, and upper floor outdoor amenities, including a rooftop pool, the project seamlessly integrates modern living with cultural and architectural authenticity.

At the urban scale, The Smith revitalizes fragmented city blocks by introducing placemaking strategies, pedestrian friendly pathways, and lush landscaping. A sprawling courtyard at street level enhances connectivity with nature, inviting natural light and neighborhood views into the building. Former open air parking lots have been reimagined as vibrant green spaces, complete with diverse trees, bioswales, and layered plantings. Prioritizing environmental stewardship, the development includes one for one bicycle parking and storage, an on site bike sharing program, and dedicated electric vehicle charging. With a focus on sustainability, design innovation, and community engagement, The Smith sets a new standard for urban living in Boston’s South End.
