100 Charles Park Road

Located along the VFW Parkway, 100 Charles Park occupies a unique setting behind the Home Depot and directly across from Cow Island Pond, a quiet marshy inlet of the Charles River. The site sits within a rapidly transforming stretch of the Parkway—from the MBTA train bridge to the Dedham line—that has become one of the area’s most active corridors for new residential development.

The landscape design is envisioned as a seamless extension of this evolving neighborhood, blending contemporary residential amenities with the site’s natural riverfront character. Framed by views to the pond and surrounding wetlands, outdoor spaces will emphasize comfort, connection, and year-round use. Native and climate-resilient plantings will soften the urban edge, while thoughtfully designed gathering spaces create opportunities for relaxation, social interaction, and engagement with the surrounding landscape.

At 100 Charles Park, the landscape will help define a new standard for living along the VFW Parkway—one that balances growth with nature, and transforms an emerging residential destination into a welcoming, memorable place to live.
