A.W. Perry has extensive experience in the rehabilitation and management of some of Boston’s most significant historic properties. Our work has significantly extended the useful lives of these properties, while preserving the character of our city and creating modern office environments which meet the requirements of today’s businesses.
Our Historic Properties Include:
The Berkeley at 420 Boylston – Back Bay, Boston
This six-story, 114,000 square foot terra-cotta faced building was built in 1906 and completely renovated by Perry in 1989. Known as the “Crowned Jewel of the Back Bay”, the Berkeley is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and was granted Landmark status by the Boston Landmarks Commission. Recognized locally and internationally for excellence in historic restoration, The Berkeley offers an elegantly recaptured sense of history, panoramic views of the Back Bay and an inspiring work environment.
20 Winthrop Square – Financial District, Boston
This five-story, 36,000 square foot office building is situated in beautiful Winthrop Square in Boston’s Financial District. It houses the Company’s headquarters on the top floor. Built in 1873 after Boston’s Great Fire, the building was completely renovated in 1984. 20 Winthrop Square is known for its brick and limestone façade, which gracefully follows the curves of Franklin and Devonshire Streets. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Summer Exchange Building – Downtown Crossing, Boston
This five-story, 33,000 square foot office building at 40 Summer Street, built after Boston’s Great Fire, was fully renovated by Perry in 1998. As a result of a land-swap, the Company negotiated the right to access the building through the first-class lobby and atrium of the adjacent 101 Arch Street office tower. The renovation preserved one of the few remaining cast iron facades in the City.
