Robert A.M. Stern became famous for his signature modern-traditionalist style.  Stern was a pioneer in the post-modern movement.  An architectural style and attitude which brought the warmth and charm of traditional architecture to modern construction technology.

Stern was the perfect choice to design Back Bay’s first luxury residential tower.  The Clarendon sits on a previously underdeveloped parking lot diagonally across from The Prudential Tower.  Stern uses the massing of the building and uses Back Bay’s traditional brick to stitch together the neighborhood.  The magnitude of this 32-story tower is mitigated by Stern’s careful attention to scale, proportion and material.  The massing of the building was also studied to help alleviate the wind tunnel effect from the neighboring Prudential.   The ground floor houses a popular bar and a post office which helps to extend the neighborhood and nightlife of Back Bay.

The Clarendon is also one of very few ‘green’ residential towers in the nation.  Deciding to go green can add significantly to the construction cost but the trade-off is a safer, better quality, longer lasting and more comfortable building.  Building a green building means not only using recycled materials and using energy efficient appliances but also following stricter health and air-quality standards.

The building has both condominiums and rentals units available at One Back Bay. They are appointed finest finishes and appliances and boast luxurious amenities.  There are many different floor plans to fit a variety of lifestyles.  The location and height of the building grant it some of the best views of Boston and provide ample natural light. A world famous architect, prime location and green construction insure The Clarendon will remain one of Boston’s most desired addresses for decades to come.

Now is the time to rent in Boston.  With so many brand new building developments such as 1330 Boylston Harborview Charlestown; and Trilogy, recently completed there is a greater supply of luxury apartments than demand for them.  As a result, many buildings are offering very attractive incentives to renters.

Archstone Avenir is offering two months free on a 13 months lease.  This adds up to some big savings.  For example, a 1 bedroom which typically rents for $2,500 per month would now rent for $2,115.  A savings of $5,000 over the term of a 13 month lease.  Archstone is also paying the full broker’s fee, which is an additional month’s rent.  Essentially, you are getting 3 months rent for free.

Archstone Avenir is offering renters some of the most aggressive incentives but many other properties are following their lead.  Buildings, all over Boston, which historically had few available apartments are now offering one or two months free, reduced parking rates and waiving amenities fees.
