Project Description
475 State Street is a 648,000 square foot, new construction mixed-use tower on the Alloy Block’s western edge, which earned the LEED for Communities Gold Certification. At 750 feet tall, the 61-story project will feature market-rate and affordable housing, retail, and office space, alongside the adaptive re-use of 1800s historic buildings. In addition to being the world’s tallest Phius CORE certified project, it will feature numerous high performance features including sewer heat recovery, community solar, electrification, smart thermostat controls and carbon reduction methods through Whole Building Life Cycle Assessment. Stormwater will be managed through planted surfaces, permeable surfaces, and a green roof along with a backup generator.

The Buildings of Excellence Competition
The Buildings of Excellence (BOE) Competition is a $83 million competition that has distributed monetary awards over five rounds. Kicked off in early 2019, BOE recognizes and rewards the design, construction, and operation of resilience, climate-friendly multifamily buildings that are healthier for residents and their communities.
Designing and developing clean and resilient buildings that are good for both businesses and residents is at the core of this competition.
The honorees are visionary architects and developers who take the lead in achieving beautiful, zero-emission buildings that improve quality of life and inspire the industry to follow their example toward a climate-friendly future. Their projects are beneficial for the environment, highly profitable, and provide them a competitive edge in the marketplace.
