Maybe it's beautiful on the inside?
Srsly though, this one was modular construction. I wonder if/how that limits what you can do with the design outside.

Re: 61-83 Braintree st | Brighton
Business travelers who have to work in Boston frequently. $2500 a month is about $84 a night which is cheaper than a hotel and companies do this regularly for executives. It's right off the Pike and CR to downtown, perfect location for someone who needs an affordable place to stay and isn't going to care about the neighborhood (which it is actually really close to the heart of Allston!)

According to Bldup, this was 100% leased on opening with those rents and is now on the market for sale by the developers. This is the new reality of Allston.

Re: 61-83 Braintree st | Brighton
^ yeah, people need to seriously start understanding that failure to build lots of any type of housing in the core of the city, even if high-priced/luxury, directly results in the propagation of higher housing prices outward. In general, a large pool of people want to live as close to the core as possible in as nice a place as possible, and will pay more to be closer to the core...and if closer isn't possible, then they'll pay more to live one rung out...and so forth.
It's time to stop thinking of downtown boston as some walled-off thing...prices propagate outward, and it's all part of our residential/commuter ecosystem. Downtown projects are opposed by activists b/c its "more luxury stuff"...but who the eff cares about whether there's a lot of luxury downtown (that's always gonna happen)...it's affordability within the 40-minute commute radius that really matters.

That's why Tito is a fraud, and almost everyone knows what a mostly useless blowhard he is.

^ I regret mentioning a politician in my post and have edited it to remove the reference. I am highly empathetic to many of such activists' causes, but one-dimensional thinking for social situations is almost never correct (e.g., let's block development because that's THE problem). There's no single silver bullet to these complex challenges. Sorry for causing a de-rail. We need more housing, and until we get it, it will be $2500 in Allston, then $2750 in Allston, then $3000 in Allston, etc.

Re: 61-83 Braintree st | Brighton
Right near the Pike and train tracks and dumpy construction for $2500 a month. Sounds nuts, but there isn't a ton of new construction over there. The units will be pretty sleek, judging by the renders on their website. And the curse of being next to tracks and the highway is also sort of a benefit for people either heading into the city or out to 128 to work.

And it is currently being marketed for sale. $43MM is the asking price
