Media representatives are invited to join Peabody Properties’ Oak Row Apartments community residents and staff on Thursday, December 13, at 10:45 a.m. as they welcome City of Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh. Mayor Walsh will tour the new community as well as be on hand as Oak Row developers donate $20,000 to their neighbors, West Roxbury’s Parkway Youth Hockey League. The event will take place at Oak Row Apartments, 1235 VFW Parkway in West Roxbury (Boston), Massachusetts.
Located in West Roxbury, a community most recently noted as one of the 10 best neighborhoods for retirement by CNBC, Oak Row has transformed the long-time vacant, former International House of Pancake’s Property into 80 luxury apartment homes consisting of a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom units. This four-story luxury community was designed by award-winning architects Khalsa Design Inc. of Somerville and constructed by Dellbrook|JKS of Quincy; the interiors were created by the award-winning interiors group at The Architectural Team of Chelsea. EA Fish Development, LLC of Wellesley, along with its investment partner Luzern Associates of Greenwich, worked jointly with Sovad LLC of West Roxbury to complete this transformative community. Oak Row is professionally managed and marketed by Peabody Properties, Inc.
The community is expected to attract a wide-range of residents, from empty nesters to on-the-go professionals and young families. The community is LEED certifiable with project sustainable features that include energy-efficient appliances and fixtures and an environmentally conscious design. Building features include garage parking, several electric vehicle 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, multi-functional wellness center and state-of-the-art cardio theatre, kids’ space, community deck, and Wi-Fi in all community areas.
