The new Post 390 Restaurant Located at The Clarendon building on the site of the former Back Bay Post Office Annex, will be a new hot spot for South End and Back Bayers alike. Nestled on the the corner of Stuart and Clarendon Street it has the comfortable feel of a ski lodge in Aspen Colorado. There is a large gas fireplace, huge open wine cellar and open kitchen to admire.  The bar is hopping with12 Beers on tap and over 200 wine selections. The food is American classics with a twist like the the beer and bacon macaroni mmm good. I look forward to spending as much time here during the cold winter ahead. As always i will continue to post on Boston’s new hotspots. Dont for get to check us out on our websites. www.bostonerealty.com and www.luxreblog.com

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.
