Nestled in one of South Boston’s most prestigious locations, Strawberry Hill, the penthouse at 540 East Broadway stands as a testament to Abacus Builders’ expertise in high-end construction and design. Originally built in 1999 by renowned developer Bill Kiely, this penthouse offered the perfect opportunity to transform an already stunning space into a bespoke masterpiece.
When the current residents envisioned their dream home, they turned to South Boston’s most trusted residential contractor, Abacus Builders, to bring their vision to life. The result? A breathtaking full-gut remodel that redefined luxury living.
A Complex Yet Rewarding Undertaking
The penthouse’s 8th-floor location in a commercially built steel and concrete structure posed significant logistical challenges. Every phase of construction required meticulous planning, from demo to rebuild.
Key logistics included:
- Cranes for Material Handling:
- All building materials were hoisted up and down the 8th floor using cranes, including the removal of debris and delivery of custom elements.
- Full-Gut Remodel:
- The entire top floor was demolished and rebuilt, providing a blank canvas to incorporate the most advanced techniques and materials.
