Innovation and value are in our DNA. With every project, we are looking for new ways to provide better and more affordable housing, hospitality or commercial experiences. Our ultimate mission is to help make Boston more accessible and appealing for residents, visitors and businesses alike.

Our Mission

We develop, own and manage residential, hospitality and mixed-use properties in core locations throughout the Boston metro area.

WHAT WE DO

  • Multi-family residential and condominium projects designed for practicality and efficiency.

  • Co-living concepts, compact units and apartments designed for ease, functionality and affordability.

  • Apartment hotels, staff-lite boutique hotels and hostel concepts designed to provide greater access for families and individuals traveling to Boston.

  • Small format office and retail spaces that provide an entry point for small businesses and start-ups.

OUR HISTORY

BREC was founded in 2010 by Brent Berc, Will Avanessian, and Patrick Haydon on the premise that a more collaborative development process between owner, developer, architect, and builder would result in smarter planning, a more efficient design, better construction execution and superior buildings. Using this approach and marrying our expertise under one roof, we have built a track record of success and earned a reputation as one of Boston’s premier, local development companies.

50+ years of experience under one roof.
