Mixed-Use Marr Installs Mast Climbers at Atrium on Commonwealth Boston – Marr Scaffolding Company’s (MSC) Mast Climber Division is installing mast climber work platforms at the Atrium on Commonwealth, located at 1079 Commonwealth Avenue in Allston. The building is undergoing a complete interior and exterior renovation which will be phased over the next 18-24 months. Led by owner and general contractor Hamilton Company, the project includes the demolition of its exterior facade, comprised of block, brick and EIFS, down to its concrete shell. Following repair work, the original structural concrete will be waterproofed and insulated, and new metal panels and windows will be installed. MSC’s Mast Climber Division is installing four twin F-300 mast climber work platforms, two twin F-200s and one single F-200. These work platforms will be relocated around the building in phases as various trades complete their work. For glass contractor Salem Glass Company, Marr will install a monorail system and additional supports on the mast climber platforms so that the glass panels can be efficiently set in place. Additionally, the concrete facade of the building’s interior courtyard is being restored. Here, Marr is installing two

twin F-200s and a single F-200. The single platform will be elevated one floor above grade level over an indoor pool that divides the courtyard in two; prior to installation, shoring will be built to support the equipment. To maneuver the mast climbers into the courtyard, MSC’s sister company, Marr Crane & Rigging,
is using a forklift to transport the units through a narrow egress created on the first floor. MSC’s mast climbing equipment will be relocated several times around the perimeter of the building, including the street facing side during the final phase of the project.
In a narrow alleyway off of Commonwealth Avenue, four twin F-300 work platforms are being installed in a split configuration, reducing labor costs and increasing efficiency.

National destination shops including Lululemon Pop-Up, Madison Reed, Purple, and Vineyard Vines Outlet join Union Square Donuts, Sav-Mor Spirits, and Juicygreens, planning for openings in the next few months. At FITROW, the property’s dedicated fitness hub, SweatHouz is opening an elevated infrared sauna experience in its first Massachusetts location. Additionally, Ashley Furniture is moving into Assembly Row Marketplace to expand
the destination’s home decor offerings. “Assembly Row continues to attract the best of both local and national brands to create a vibrant experience for our residents, employees, neighbors and visitors,” said David Middleton, general manager for Federal Realty at Assembly Row.” As Phase 3 nears completion, openings have also included 455 Grand Union Boulevard, an office tower which is home to PUMA’s North American headquarters, and the 500-unit Miscela luxury apartment community.
