1270 Commonwealth Avenue—known as Arborline Allston—is a six-story, Passive House multifamily development bringing over 200 rental residences to one of Boston’s most vibrant and transit-connected neighborhoods. The project spans approximately 189,000 sf of new housing alongside 20,000 sf of curated indoor and outdoor amenity space and ground-floor retail, replacing a vacant single-story retail building along a key section of the Commonwealth Avenue corridor.

Building on Experience, Raising the Bar
Arborline Allston introduces 206 rental residences to the Green District, a neighborhood on the rise. At 189,000 sf, the development integrates ground-floor retail and 20,000 sf of amenity space—fitness, coworking, and outdoor gathering areas—designed to serve residents and activate the street. Designed by CBT Architects for LEED Gold certification, the six-story building reflects the character of Commonwealth Avenue, Brainerd Road, and Gorham Street through a contextual yet contemporary design.
TOCCI’s work here builds directly on the momentum of 1515 Commonwealth Avenue, just steps away.
