Allston Yards Announces Openings of New Flagship Stop & Shop and Alder Residential Community

Allston Yards has announced the June openings of a new, flagship Stop & Shop and the Alder residential community. Allston Yards, a project of New England Development, Stop & Shop, Bozzuto and Southside Investment Partners, is Boston’s newest mixed-use development.

Alder is a 165-unit residential community located directly above the new 52,000 square foot Stop & Shop within the 10.6-acre Allston Yards. Alder is managed and developed by Bozzuto. Located at 301 Guest Street, Alder is the first building in the transformative mixed-use Allston Yards development. The multi-phase Allston Yards project includes 117,000 square feet of retail with a vibrant mix of new stores and restaurants, including the new Stop & Shop. With nearly 900 residences, 350,000 square feet of office and lab space, and a one-acre community green, Allston Yards has been designed as a walkable community with open space and an ideal location for retailers, restaurants, office and life-science tenants, fitness, and services.

Alder offers residents a full-service concierge, secured package room, bike and private storage, a fitness center and barre studio, billiards and game tables, a lounge and outdoor deck with a firepit, and a library and workstations. The building is pet-friendly and includes a pet spa and landscaped courtyard. Garage parking spaces are available on site with EV charging stations and EV-ready spaces.

The new Stop & Shop has been thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of Allston’s growing and diverse community. The store features a large assortment of grab & go meal options and convenient services like online pickup to better serve the always-on-the-go customer. With online pickup, customers can shop online and drive up to one of the designed spots in the Allston Yards parking garage, and an associate will deliver their order right to their car.

Stop & Shop has carefully curated a significantly larger assortment of products to serve the diverse range of cultures and communities in Allston. More than 800 new multiculturally focused products are offered throughout the store.

The development of Allston Yards will contribute a total of $4-million dollars to the Allston-Brighton Homeowner Fund created by Allston Yards to increase affordable homeownership opportunities in Allston-Brighton. Since its inception, the fund, facilitated by the Boston Home Center, has distributed approximately $900,000 in downpayment assistance and helped 27 first-time homebuyers purchase homes in Allston-Brighton. The project has also created an $800,000 Allston-Brighton Community Fund to support programs and improvements that enhance the Allston-Brighton community. At full build, the Allston Yards project will have advanced approximately $35M in infrastructure investments to extend Guest Street from Arthur Street to Everett Street, improve and signalize intersections, extend Braintree Street, create new and improved access to the Boston Landing Commuter Rail Station, and install new utilities to support the growing Allston-Brighton community.
