The Nature of Things to Come

The Element, Allston's exciting new eco-friendly community. Located at 86 Brainerd Road, the luxury building is the first available for occupancy in a 6-building group called the Green District.

Leasing began less than a month ago and the 100-unit complex is almost sold out – only 14 units remain. Clearly the Element is living up to expectations as Boston’s newest and most exciting apartment community complex. “I’ve been in the complex quite a few times since leasing began and they have quite the crew working diligently to prepare for the initial July 1st move-ins,” says Boston Realty Advisors rental agent Jon Biliouris. “The entire project is moving at an impressive pace without compromising quality, and the developers [The Mount Vernon Company] are really setting a new standard for housing in the entire city.”

Careful construction and environmentally ethical design are evident throughout the building. Gorgeous designer kitchens boast granite countertops and top of the line stainless steel/energy efficient appliances. All units have individually controlled air conditioning.

Apartments at the Element feature large, super-insulated windows.

The building is insulated with an energy-efficient material called Icynene. This innovative soy-based material helps reduce noise transmission. Recycling chutes on each floor encourage residents to reduce waste. Naturally, the Element is also LEED certified.

In addition to the luxury amenities and eco-conscious features, the Element is unique in that it has offers residents a private theatre, fully-equipped fitness center, parking garage, and a common event room with kitchenette.

Atop the building sits a 2,000 SF recycled grass roof deck with lounge furniture. Here, residents can get to know each other by taking yoga classes or tending the communal vegetable garden.

This exciting, pet-friendly building is available for occupancy starting July 1st, so there is still a chance you could be one of the first lucky occupants. Stop by the leasing office at 1302 Commonwealth Avenue today or call 617.651.3500.

The Element is part of a larger overall Green District, a massive $125 million project with six buildings comprised of 500 environmentally conscious units along Brainerd Road in Allston.
