ADCO Realty engages Kripper Studio for new residential buildings at 41-43 Stearns Rd. and 45 Stearns Rd.

Brookline, MA ADCO Realty has engaged Kripper Studio for the construction of two new multi-unit residential buildings to be known as 41-43 Stearns Rd. and 45 Stearns Rd.

41-43 Stearns Rd. and 45 Stearns Rd. will be two, multi-unit residential buildings evolving from what was originally conceived as one building on one lot. The opportunity arose to merge the original lot with its adjacency and expand the number of units and overall scope of the project. The project now includes the construction of two buildings connected by a sub-grade parking garage with eight spaces and storage units.

41-43 Stearns Rd. will include two townhomes, each with a private elevator from the parking level to the ground, second and third floors.

45 Stearns Rd. will include an entire first floor unit and a duplex above served by a private elevator from the parking level to all floors in the unit.

The buildings are under construction with anticipated completion and occupancy in spring 2023. This project represents the second engagement for Kripper Studio with this major developer. ADCO Realty previously engaged Kripper Studio to restore, renovate and re-imagine an historic Victorian-style residence in Brookline and turn it into a contemporary duplex.

The brand new buildings will include contemporary materials, finishes and fixtures. All units will include master suites complete with master baths with spa design details, walk-in-closets, and sitting areas. Modern interior staircases will reflect the open-concept of the living space layouts, which are often features of architect-designed private residences. The scope of the new construction also includes decks for individual units.

The exterior of the buildings will be treated with an elegant, modern facade-paneling system that complements the historic shingle cladding of the surrounding neighborhood.

Kripper Studio tapped Landworks Studio to incorporate a landscape design to engage the surrounding neighborhood to the front, while providing privacy at the rear. Using native plants and open benches, the buildings evoke an open and inviting atmosphere sensitive to the sloping terrain of the site.

“ADCO Realty is enthusiastic about working with Kripper Studio in the development of the Stearns Road multi-unit property,” said Dan Adelson, managing director of ADCO Realty. ”We look forward to the completion of this visionary and innovated project.”

“We are extremely pleased to work again with ADCO Realty to design new multi-unit residential in Brookline,” said Amir Kripper, founding principal of Kripper Studio. “This new development will be a great example of building craftsmanship and timeless design.”
