144 Addison Street, Boston, MA

144 Addison is a new transit-oriented, multi-family residential development in East Boston.  The new 5-story, 230-unit building consists of a single level of open, above-grade parking, with residential floors sitting atop the 179 parking spaces by means of a field of structural columns. The building was occupied by residential occupants over the course of two primary turnovers.

Code Red Consultants was retained directly by the Owner’s Project Manager, Redgate, to develop a comprehensive Phased Occupancy Plan that ensured the fire and life safety of residents, employees, and construction personnel over the course of the project. Additionally, Code Red Consultants provided miscellaneous code consulting to the architect, Arrowstreet, to assist with design progression during construction.

Code Red Consultants’ focus was performing a comprehensive review of the turnover approach and interfacing with Boston city officials, with the objective that the fire and life safety systems afforded to building occupants would not be compromised. Code Red Consultants’ hands-on approach ensured that residences were able to be occupied on schedule without compromise to the fire and life safety systems.
