361 Newbury Street / 100 Mass Avenue

ABOUT PROJECT

Built in 1910, this 82,000-square-foot, five-story, mixed-use office and retail building is located at the corner of Newbury Street and Massachusetts Avenue at the western edge of Boston’s Back Bay. The building underwent repositioning in 2014-2015, which consisted of large-scale improvements to both the infrastructure and mechanical systems; upscaling of the lobby from both a functional and aesthetic standpoint; opening up floors to appeal to larger, professional tenants; and renovation of all common areas, including bathrooms, hallways, and elevators. The result of the mechanical improvements produced 5% improved efficiency in cooling seasons and 20% improved efficiency for heating-season utility costs.

SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVEs
  • New digital control system for a more efficient HVAC system
  • Replaced oil-fired boilers with high-efficiency, gas-powered, water-cooled, chilled air system
  • Replaced the old steel-frame, wired-glass roof monitors with new double-insulated clear windows
  • The result of these mechanical improvements include an approximate 5% improved efficiency in cooling seasons and an approximate 15% improved efficiency in heating season utility costs
