Ink Block

Ink Block is a vibrant residential and retail hub in Boston’s South End neighborhood that includes seven buildings on six acres.  There are 495 apartments in four distinct buildings (1 Ink, 2 Ink, 3 Ink and 7INK). The first three buildings opened in January of 2015. The focal point of the retail is a flagship 50,000 SF Whole Foods Market in 2 Ink, built below a green roof and resident swimming pool. The ground plane is fully activated by additional high-end retail including CorePower Yoga, Bar Mezzana, Fuji, Yellow Door, Sweetgreen and The Handle Bar Studio.  Phase II included 77 residential condominiums at Sepia (100% pre-sold before opening) and 10,000 square feet of retail space. Phase III, completed in early 2018, included a 205-room AC Hotel by Marriott as well as 76 residential condominiums at Siena. The last phase, a 180-unit residential building called 7INK, opened in April of 2022.
