Boston mixed-use center welcomes Stop & Shop, residential units
Boston’s Allston Yards mixed-use development is welcoming a brand new Stop & Shop, along with the Alder residential community: a 165-unit residential community located directly above the new 52,000 sq.-ft. grocery store within the 10.6-acre property.
The multi-phase Allston Yards project, spearheaded by New England Development and managed by Bozzuto, includes 117,000 sq. ft. of retail with a mix of new stores and restaurants, including the new Stop & Shop. With nearly 900 residences, 350,000 sq. ft. of office and lab space, and a one-acre community green, Allston Yards has been designed as a “walkable community with open space and an ideal location” for retailers, restaurants, office and life-science tenants, fitness, and services.
Alder offers residents a full-service concierge, secured package room, bike and private storage, a fitness center and barre studio, billiards and game tables, a lounge and outdoor deck with a firepit, and a library and workstations. The building is pet-friendly and includes a pet spa and landscaped courtyard. Garage parking spaces are available on site with EV charging stations and EV-ready spaces.
For its newest location, Stop & Shop said it has carefully curated a significantly larger assortment of products to serve the diverse range of cultures and communities at Allston Yards. More than 800 new multiculturally-focused products are offered throughout the store including, a Kosher certified bakery, new refrigerated and dairy halal products, hundreds of new products from multiple countries, and dozens of new Latin-centric foods.
“Stop & Shop Allston Yards offers a new shopping experience for our local customers. Our team put careful consideration into designing a store that offers the right mix of products, convenient services, and great values to help our customers save,” said Gordon Reid, president of Stop & Shop. “We are continuing to invest in our stores in Boston and across the Northeast, and our team remains focused on unlocking new ways to deliver even more value and convenience for all our customers.”
