The Troy, 275 Albany

Boston, MA

Strategically located close to a transit stop in an up-and-coming area of Boston, the Troy is a residential project catering to a young and active population.

The project has been designed to maximise indoor and outdoor social experiences at every opportunity. On the third floor the elegantly designed indoor social space opens up on to a large pool deck complete with a firepit, terraced seating, a swimming pool, feature lighting and cabanas. Tucked around the corner is be a rooftop dog run, screened by a planting of wild rose bushes.

Higher up, the sunset roof on top of the midrise overlooks the historic South End district. At this level there are outdoor grills, mini-living rooms and multiple other types of sitting areas underneath flowering trees. Even higher, on the 21st floor, the tower roof offers comfortable seating nooks surrounding outdoor fireplaces and an unmatched view of downtown Boston.
