The Kensington #1 for Boston in Elite 1% ORA™ Power Ranking for Eighth Year in a Row

The Kensington has made the Elite 1% ORA™ Power Ranking, placing #1 in Boston for the  8th consecutive year for resident satisfaction. Impressively, its ranking rose to #52 out of more than 128,000 properties nationwide.

Each year, J.Turner Research, the leading market research firm exclusively serving the multifamily industry, conducts a ranking of nationwide properties across various online review sites, and assigns an aggregate compilation known as an Online Reputation Assessment (ORA™) score. Only the top 1% of properties in the nation in terms of online reputation make the elite list. Of the 1,564 properties that made the 2021 list, Kensington’s .97 ORA score earned its position as #52.

Centrally located in Boston’s Theatre District near Chinatown, The Kensington features 381 beautifully appointed studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments and penthouses throughout 27 stories. The Kensington is LEED Gold Certified with materials and systems carefully selected to minimize the impact on the environment. The Kensington is owned by Kensington Investment Company and Northwestern Investment Management Company and managed by Bozzuto Management Company.

The Kensington has made the Elite 1% ORA™ Power Ranking every single year since the inception of the list in 2014. From 2017-2019, The Kensington ranked in the Top 20, and it claimed the top spot in the nation in 2017. The property continually places so highly thanks to its scores in occupancy and retention, as well as service, which is rooted in the commitment to exceed resident expectations.

General Manager Rebecca Gagnon noted, “We are so lucky to have ownership like KIC and Northwestern, Bozzuto Group support from Laura Burr, and a team of 16 people who truly care about each other, the building, and our residents. This is something to be so, so proud of!”
