Along with its joint-venture partner, Luzern Associates LLC (Luzern), EA Fish Development (EAFD) is thrilled to announce that OAK ROW, the recently opened 80-unit luxury rental apartment community located in West Roxbury, Boston MA, has been selected as a 2019 National Apartment Association (NAA) Excellence Award recipient in the Best Community, (1-5 years; under 150 units) Category among a prominent group of communities in contention.
Developed by EAFD and Luzern and property-managed by Peabody Properties of Braintree, OAK ROW represents the transformation of the long-time vacant, former International House of Pancake’s property into eighty luxury apartment homes – 1, 2 & 3 bedrooms. Project architect Khalsa Design of Somerville designed OAK ROW while taking cues from the beautiful, tree-lined, neighborhoods of West Roxbury as well as the urban context of the City of Boston. A community on the edge of the city, OAK ROW is close to many urban conveniences that include: supermarkets, shopping, restaurants, cafes, coffee houses and entertainment destinations. Residents enjoy the option of going “car-free” with commuter rail and bus service in close proximity. Building features include garage parking with electric car charging stations, pet wash and grooming station, private balconies/terraces, clubroom with kitchen and terrace, private work pods, work lounge and conference room, game lounge, package concierge, cardio theatre, and kids’ space.
