Originally built in 1928, Harvard Hall is an existing 156 unit apartment building undergoing a full gut renovation and modernization.  A unique partnership between the tenant association and the developer brought extensive collaboration during design and permitting phases and will allow current residents to be temporarily located offsite during construction and return to their building at the end of construction. A vertical addition to the penthouse along with the recapture of underutilized building space will bring fresh building amenities, lush communal courtyard spaces, and a total unit count of 182.

The building is targeting LEED Gold certification and will feature upgraded envelope and windows, new high efficiency mechanical systems, new plumbing and fire protection systems, and upgraded electrical service with close to a 100kw solar array over a combination green roof at the penthouse.
