Revere

The Revere Apartments anchor a formerly empty site at the prominent corner of Mississippi Avenue and Fremont Street with 211 units of new amenity-rich market rate housing. Several strategies work to integrate the mass of the J-shaped building into its mostly low-rise context. The building maintains the urban streetwall along Mississippi Avenue and uses the sloping topography to its advantage. From the corner retail/restaurant space, the building’s entries step down along the slope as the building continues south, progressing from public to increasingly private. Vertical cuts in the massing break down the building’s bulk into a series of smaller scale modules.

The music scene theme continues throughout the public spaces with concert poster art in hallways and elevators lobbies. In addition to large, lounge-like lobby spaces, the building’s amenities include a media/karaoke room, large fitness center with yoga studio, sauna, and outdoor courtyard with climbing wall, and dramatic roof deck.

The green roof's drought-resistant vegetation, a carefully detailed building envelope, low-flow fixtures, low- or no-VOC finishes and materials, LED light fixtures, and walkable urban location combine to earn the building a LEED-NC Silver rating.
