Located at the corner of Clarendon Street and St. James Avenue in Boston’s Back Bay neighborhood, The Clarendon is a 32-story luxury residential tower containing 280 condominium and rental units, ground-level retail, and below-grade parking. The building is in a highly visible site located across from the John Hancock Tower and near Trinity Church.

Streetscape site improvements include the addition of hardy Princeton American elm trees; granite paving at the building entries and sidewalk edge; new concrete sidewalks; and bicycle racks. Street trees are planted in structural soil trenches. Large volumes of soil were used, allowing the tree roots to grow freely beneath the walks without causing heaving or cracking to the concrete surface.

The Clarendon is a green building and is LEED Silver-Certified. As a part of this effort, Copley Wolff Design Group designed four roof terraces that include private spaces for individual residences as well as public gathering areas for the entire building. These spaces combine a rich and colorful low-maintenance plant palette with amenities such as sustainable IPE hardwood decking and privacy walls, accent lighting, and stainless steel cooking stations. Outdoor rooms are filled with comfortable furnishings that provide spaces to congregate with family and friends.

The colorful 6th-floor sun terrace planting contrasts against the silver hue of the ipe decking and screen walls. Planting consists of a variety of sedums, perennials, and ornamental grasses. Every season was carefully planned – evergreen sedums and low grasses keep winter interest while providing changing colors and textures throughout the spring, summer, and fall.
