Zero Athens is a mixed-use community in South Boston, just a short distance to the Broadway MBTA Red Line station. The building brings together striking architectural features with thoughtful interior touches to create an equally memorable experience for residents, neighbors, and the community at large. Zero Athens revitalizes an underutilized site with 55 residences, including 7 affordable units, and 2,600 sf of ground floor retail space.

Developed by Transom Real Estate, Zero Athens apartments carve out a missing piece of style within the South Boston landscape. The brand is driven by the iconic architecture by Howeler+Yoon, which is reinforced with the form of the logo - a simplified abstraction of the building’s unique footprint, highlighting the modular stepping of it’s north facade. Conceived with reference to the flexibility of the building’s configuration within a narrow triangular plot, the logo can be pulled apart and re-arranged to create new iterations for any given application.
