BOSTON— Allston’s newest luxury address, The Charley, is now officially open and welcoming its first residents. Developed by Berkeley Investments, the six-story boutique apartment building brings 103 high-end rental units to one of Boston’s most dynamic and fast-growing neighborhoods, overlooking the Charles River and just steps from Boston Landing.
The opening of The Charley comes as a welcome addition to Greater Boston’s strained housing supply, offering a blend of thoughtfully designed apartments, modern amenities, and sustainable features—all wrapped in a vibrant, urban setting.
Distinctive Design Meets Urban Comfort
The Charley’s striking exterior and curated interiors set it apart in a neighborhood known for its creative energy and cultural flair. Inside, the building offers a range of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom units featuring upscale finishes such as quartz countertops, modern cabinetry, and in-unit washers and dryers. Select residences come with private, covered balconies offering sweeping views of the Charles River and Boston skyline.
The building’s design team, including Höweler + Yoon, VMY, and Anja Park Design, prioritized comfort, functionality, and aesthetic appeal. “The Charley was designed to offer a pet-friendly, boutique living experience,” said Kevin Longo, Development and Asset Manager at Berkeley Investments. “From expansive layouts to the calming design details, everything is geared toward making long-term city living easy and enjoyable.”
Amenities Designed for an Active, Connected Lifestyle
Residents at The Charley can take advantage of a wide array of amenities, including a rooftop deck with fire pits, grills, and panoramic views; a fully equipped fitness center with Peloton bikes, treadmills, and a virtual fitness mirror; a pet spa and dog park; garage parking with EV charging stations; and multiple communal lounges and workspaces. The building is also LEED Gold certifiable and features rooftop solar panels, underscoring Berkeley’s commitment to sustainability.
Interior designer Anja Park curated the building’s common spaces to reflect a natural, relaxed feel with pops of color. “New residents will appreciate the communal spaces grounded in warm, earthy tones, while bold accents of deep purple and chartreuse give the spaces a fresh, welcoming energy,” said Park.
A Prime Location with the City at Your Fingertips
Located at 46 Soldiers Field Place, The Charley sits at the crossroads of Allston, Brighton, and Watertown, offering direct access to major roadways and public transit options like the MBTA Commuter Rail. Nearby destinations including Boston Landing, Arsenal Yards, Harvard, and MIT, along with an abundance of local restaurants, music venues, and outdoor recreation spots, make it an ideal location for residents seeking both convenience and culture.
“This is balanced urban living at its best,” Longo said. “With so many options for entertainment, fitness, dining, and commuting, residents at The Charley will find everything they need right outside their front door.”
