Chestnut Hill Investments, LLC, led by principal Raj Dhanda, is the developer behind 1180 Boylston Street. The firm focuses on creating upscale, transit-oriented, and walkable residential communities in the Greater Boston area. Their commitment to enhancing neighborhoods is evident in the transformation of the former gas station site into this mixed-use development.
Chestnut Hill remains one of Greater Boston’s most desirable and supply-constrained submarkets, known for its affluent residential base, top-performing retail destinations like The Street and Chestnut Hill Square, and proximity to premier institutions such as Boston College. While development opportunities are limited by zoning and land availability, demand for luxury multifamily living remains strong—driven by downsizing homeowners, professionals seeking suburban-urban balance, and renters-by-choice who value walkability and prestige. In today’s market, high-quality residential offerings in Chestnut Hill continue to command premium rents and experience low vacancy, especially when paired with thoughtful design, concierge-level amenities, and integration into the neighborhood's vibrant commercial core.
