What: The Addison
Where: 144 Addison St., East Boston
Owner: Redgate
Built: 2021 

• Boston developer Redgate has commissioned a giant mural for the road outside its new Orient Heights apartment building The Addison, which is managed by Greystar.  
• The mural fills in a triangular portion of the intersection, helping organize and calm previously chaotic car traffic. 
• Colombian artist Felipe Ortiz depicted a trio of bird species that frequent the nearby Belle Isle Marsh.  
• The 230-unit building also features three indoor murals by local artists and a makerspace amenity, furnished with an industrial kitchen and tools like a laser cutter and digital embroidery machines. 

They Said It: 

“Creativity and aesthetic beauty and the pioneering drive people have to carve their own path is really built into the spirit and soul of what Redgate has created here in Orient Heights.”
