Millennium Place is a 256-unit residential building located in downtown Boston across from the Ritz-Carlton. The 15-story tower includes one-, two-, and three-bedroom units as well as 9,700 sq. ft. (900 m²) of ground floor retail. Also included is a 125-car underground parking garage.


 


Working with the notion of masonry as a design palate, Millennium Place was designed with the area’s rich history in mind, featuring heavy masonry walls and lattice frames offset by glass and metal.


 


An open-air canopy frames the private porte-cochere, protecting residents from the elements while allowing light to shine through. A bi-level urban garden acts as an extension of the nearby Boston Common.
