Trolley House Condos
Complex Description:
The Trolley House is a new 24-unit condominium building located in
South Boston on the boundary between the traditional working class
residential neighborhood and an industrial area. The Trolley House
condos are the work of Utile Architecture and the Niskanen Development
team. The building has structured parking and two lobby entrances at
street level and three levels of units, organized around a central
courtyard, with the facade made up of a single large window repeated in
a grid pattern.
At the Trolley House condo development (so named because it
was once the site of a garage for trolleys used for sight seeing)
architecture and development teams successfully applied the idea of
having a building with a large footprint with a courtyard in the
middle, and keeping building height to 35 or 40 feet so that it would
work with the larger configuration of old row houses and large
warehouses. Trolley House was completed in late 2006 and all of the 24
units, in the mid-$400,000 to $600,000 range, sold quickly.
