What: 5 Washington St.
Where: Brighton
Owner: Washington Square Ventures
Built: 2021 

Construction of a 108-unit apartment complex with 12,500 square feet of ground-floor retail including a CVS Pharmacy has begun in Brighton’s Washington Square. 

Located on a 1-acre parcel straddling the Boston and Brookline border, the 5-story building replaces a gas station, auto repair shop and office building that were recently demolished to make way for the new 131,500-square-foot building designed by Stantec. 

Building amenities will include a fitness area, clubhouse lounge, community kitchen, workspace and an outdoor terrace including two quartz-topped bars, semi-private cabanas, gas grills and fireplaces. 

The complex includes 18 units designated as affordable housing and reserved for households earning 70 percent or less of area median income. 

They Said It: 

 “This development will contribute to the growth of the Washington Square/Corey Hill neighborhood and give residents an urban living experience just minutes from downtown Boston.”
