Leasing has begun at the two residential towers of One Seaport, a $600 million mixed-use development in Boston's burgeoning Seaport District.

The apartments at The Benjamin and VIA are situated on 3 acres of land in the heart of the district and span 1.5 million square feet. The project encompass 832 units atop three floors of shopping, dining, and entertainment venues. Berkshire Group partnered with Boston Global Investors to develop the residences.

The Benjamin and VIA, standing at 22 and 20 stories, respectively, were both designed by Boston-based Elkus Manfredi Architects. The towers boast contemporary design expressions in metal and glass with a state-of-the-art unitized curtain wall system. The project was designed for LEED Silver certification and includes over 1 acre of landscaped courtyards.

“Since opening our doors, it has been a pleasure to see our residents enjoying Boston at its very best. Whether it is the exceptional design, amenities, and views of The Benjamin and VIA, or the Seaport’s ever-transforming streetscape, it is nice to see the buildings finally come to life," says Heather Boujoulian, head of multifamily development investments for Berkshire Group.

Residents are privy to a variety of entertainment and relaxation lounges, a catering kitchen, "The Map Room," an espresso bar, a business center, and a fitness center with yoga and high-tech virtual programming. The Benjamin meets pets' needs, too, with an on-site grooming station and play area.
