Anew residential complex of eight outstand-ing, sophisticated homes is under construc-tion in the Back Bay on Marlborough

Street, between Massachusetts Avenue andCharlesgate East.

Called Four51 Marlborough, it is on a site thatonce was the location of four brick row houses thatwere designed by Obed F. Smith and built by con-tractor George Wheatland in 1887.

These homes were demolished in 1967 andreplaced by a squat one-story brick building usedfor classrooms and an auditorium.

The Holland Companies, which are the develop-ers of Four51, acquired the building in 2010 alongwith three Commonwealth Avenue mansions,which they converted to a luxurious condo complexcalled the Bradley.

Four51 “has been in the planning stages for along, long time,” said Joseph Holland, owner andmanaging partner for this development. The devel- Eight luxurious residences are under construction at 451 Marlborough St. in the Back Bay,

opers razed the school building two years ago.“This is a really great opportunity to undo

something and create a new building that will beas timeless as the those that were constructed 128years ago. We didn’t want to mimic what wasthere and do a false interpretation of that,” he said.

For David Hacin of Hacin + Associates, anaward-winning architect, Four51 is his first proj-ect that combines architecture, interior designand branding, focusing on a concept of “historicdetails, modern spin.”

Hacin has designed a stylish contemporarystructure with a façade of dark red IronspotRoman brick and precast limestone with customblack steel Hope’s Windows. At the cornice isthe same brick laid in a Flemish bond pattern.The upper two floors are clad with dark graymetal paneling with a rain screen system.

Four51 rises three stories – about the sameheight as the adjacent 19th century row houses –to five stories, which align with Charlesgate, aone-time apartment hotel that is now condo-miniums.
