BOSTON– MP Boston, the local arm of the internationally recognized developer of luxury mixed-use properties, Millennium Partners, has announced the official opening of its latest residential development, The Millennium Residences at Winthrop Center, a collection of 317 luxury residences housed within a next-generation, 62-story mixed-use development that also features offices and thoughtfully programmed amenity spaces, including an exclusive residents-only club, a 25,000 square foot office amenity space and a grand new public space referred to as The Connector, slated to open this fall.
Boasting 360° views found nowhere else in the city, the new residences deliver a one-of-a-kind living experience within a building setting a new global standard for integrating health and wellness, sustainability, and technology in building design. The $1.30 billion mixed-use project Winthrop Center creates a striking new visual pinnacle in the city, rising 691 feet into the Boston skyline. The 317 residences occupy the 35th to 62nd floors, with one, two, three and four bedrooms, ranging in size from 777 square feet to 4,659 square feet.
Joining a Like-Minded Community in a Health and Eco-Conscious Environment
With 510,000 total square feet of residential space and 812,000 square feet of Global Class A office space, Winthrop Center is slated to become the world’s largest office building to seek Passive House certification, a rigorous, high-performance building standard that results in a dramatic reduction in energy usage.
“We are thrilled to open our doors to residents and invite them to live in a landmark building that uses 50 percent less energy than any other building in the city,” said MP Boston Principal, Richard Baumert. “In addition to a new luxury living experience that prioritizes comfort and personal health, Winthrop Center delivers a built-in community in one of the most sustainable buildings in the world.”
The Millennium Residences at Winthrop Center are setting new standards for urban wellness with flexible living spaces featuring eco-friendly appliances and amenities that support live/work balance, fitness, and self-care. Access to a team of expert trainers, nutritionists, and instructors, a wellness club for people and pets, and a culinary program by Michelin-starred chef John Fraser enhance residents’ daily routines and deliver a holistic sense of well-being. Kitchen appliances such as convection steam ovens, induction cooktops, and built-in Sub-Zero refrigerators revolutionize cooking experiences for residents with health, environmental, and energy benefits.
Flexible Communal Spaces and a Relaxed “Members Only” Environment
“With The Connector scheduled to open this fall as a vibrant community gathering space on the ground floor, residents will benefit from social interactions with office workers and the public at their leisure, and also enjoy the comfort of a private retreat in their homes and in spaces exclusive to residents,” said Baumert.
Conceived as an extension of residents’ living rooms and boasting spectacular views from 350 feet in the air, The Club is an elegant amenity space on the 35th floor that features a library and gameroom where residents can unwind and entertain friends, and a bar/lounge with a food concept by the restauranteur and Michelin-starred chef John Fraser, called Winnie’s. Offering an approachable dining experience with neighborhood restaurant energy, Winnie’s serves a diverse and accessible menu of delicious cocktails, elevated snacks, spins on classic favorites, and a kid’s menu to appeal to a wide range of tastes and delight solo diners, couples and families alike.
Catering to a Balanced Lifestyle
Custom design solutions at The Millennium Residences at Winthrop Center help residents create their optimal live/work environments, with nearly half of the homes featuring a flex space that can be used as a home office, media room, or at-home exercise hub. Winthrop Center residents can also access meeting, event, and coworking spaces and fitness space within a 24,000 square foot area on the third floor known as The Collective, which is designed to spark collaboration and social engagement, and provide mental breaks through physical exercise.
The Collective’s fitness center is comprised 5,000 square feet of equipment and programming – including a sports simulator, body analytics room, recovery room with massage and physical therapy, and a climbing wall with adjustable pitch levels – which was developed as part of Winthrop Center’s innovative FLX offering, a new gold standard for integrating holistic fitness and wellness into residential buildings. Bringing together a range of customizable fitness and wellness programs and a team of specialists under one roof, Winthrop Center creates a streamlined environment for residents to diversify their workouts, balance mental and physical training, and fulfill everyday needs, from staying committed to personal nutrition plans and exercise routines to strengthening mobility and engaging in active sports recovery.
For an exclusive FLX experience, a residents-only 4,000 square foot space includes a self-guided experience in the main fitness center; a Junior Olympic-sized pool with residents-only access; and a functional training space adjacent to two studios that host group classes and programs such as yoga, pilates, and martial arts.
The Ultimate Playground and Holistic Wellness Center for Pets
Winthrop Center proudly offers a 6,500 square foot club for dogs who will have access to their own personal concierge through Club VIP (“Very Important Pets”). Led by pet care expert, Karen Ray, the VIP amenity program encompasses space for dogs to run, play, and socialize, along with access to grooming services, physical therapy, dog training with highly experienced staff, educational offerings around pet nutrition, dog-friendly happy hours, and off-site retreats in an idyllic New Hampshire farm setting for full-service, personalized pet care and exclusive boarding.
The Millennium Residences at Winthrop Center are located on Devonshire Street in the heart of Boston, steps away from world-class shopping, dining, and entertainment destinations and with convenient access to the city’s green spaces, neighboring towns, and historic and cultural landmarks. Residents enjoy five-star service at all touch points, from valet, to door attendant and concierge and beyond. The Residences at Winthrop Center will be LEED Gold certified and start from US$1.5 million.
