HDS Architecture was the architect of record for this mixed-use residential building positioned in the center of Union Square in Allston.

446 Cambridge is a model for efficiency and practicality which maximizes the site’s potential by utilizing a wide footprint, allowing for 40 residential apartment units, 39 parking spaces below grade, spacious units (majority with dens), bicycle storage, and a commercial component along Cambridge Street. Top level units enjoy a roof penthouse space with access via a circular staircase.

The building utilizes brick and metal panel with bay windows and a strong projecting cornice to create a simple, yet sophisticated aesthetic.
