Boston Globe Media: "The newly opened Pennyweight Hotel Boston’s name includes a sly wink to the fact that its numerical address (155 Portland St.) is also the exact measurement of a pennyweight (1.55 grams), a unit harkening back to the 14th century that is still used today when measuring gold and sterling. Formerly the Onyx Boston Downtown, the hotel has been reimagined as a relaxing urban oasis, with 112 guest rooms and suites offering modern amenities, luxe bedding, and a clean, minimalistic aesthetic expressed in a soft palette of greens and neutral tones."

As some of our loyal followers know, our team has been heads down working on an exciting new multifamily project in Newton at 78 Crafts Street. Last week, the Newton Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) voted unanimously to grant a Comprehensive Permit to build 295 apartments on this site. This doesn’t guarantee our project, but we are feeling more hopeful every day that we can produce much-needed housing in one of the best cities near Greater Boston. Our 295-unit project includes 59 much-needed units of subsidized housing for households earning up to 50% of the Area Median Income (“AMI”), as well as approximately 40,000 sf of outdoor open space, a brand-new tot lot, dog park, dedicated coworking space, fitness center, and parking. The project is within walking distance of Newtonville shops, the MBTA Commuter Rail, Whole Foods, and more. It’s designed and built to Passive House standards and will transform the site from an industrial, mostly impervious one, to residential with plentiful green space and improved stormwater management. There is much to say about the housing crisis in our region, and we hope more municipalities and developers work together on opportunities for solutions, like this one on Crafts Street. These 295 approved units, with 59 offered at deeply affordable rents, represent a meaningful opportunity to provide housing to our kids, our aging population, and local business employees. Developments are always made better by the voices in the neighborhood, local government, and experts in architecture, sustainability, traffic, and more. We will continue to listen throughout this process, and we are grateful to continue to the next phase of development.

The proverbial ribbon is cut 🎀 and the doors are open at our brand new Pennyweight Hotel Boston. Guest rooms are perfection, beds are comfy, a lobby you dream to work from, and the food & bev at our new restaurant, 155 On Portland? Delicious. We hope you'll join us at the Pennyweight soon!

Added one of my favorite videos created this summer to my website! This video for Boylston Properties combines my favorite tools of filmmaking – drone shots, insightful interviews, beautiful and innovative artwork, and a drone-like ambient track.

👀coming soon! Working hard with our partner Stonebridge Companies to bring this beauty to life. We can't wait to officially "open" the doors to the Pennyweight Hotel in the West End of Boston. Stay tuned...

We need to find ways to start housing projects, or we will see the continued migration of our most important demographic: 25 - 45-year-olds.

We loved joining our partners at Weston & Sampson to support a great organization at the John M.
