Overlooking the Boston Public Garden at the corner of Arlington and Marlborough Streets, Zero Marlborough is one of the most exclusive residential addresses in the city. This boutique, full-service building blends historic elegance with modern refinement, offering a quiet, park-side lifestyle just steps from Newbury Street and the Commonwealth Avenue Mall.
Originally built in the early 20th century and transformed into luxury residences in 2008, Zero Marlborough stands as a prime example of thoughtful restoration and timeless design. The building’s architecture reflects a pre-war Manhattan style with Art Deco influences, while inside, just 12 private homes span entire floors, each with direct elevator access and panoramic views of the Public Garden.
From the outside, the building maintains a classic presence. Inside, it offers a peaceful, discreet living experience for buyers who value space, service, and the prestige of one of Boston’s rarest residential locations.

Residences at Zero Marlborough are designed with a sense of scale and sophistication that’s rare in the city. Most homes exceed 3,000 square feet and feature full-floor layouts, allowing for multiple exposures and sun-filled interiors. Floor-plans typically include three to four bedrooms, formal living and dining rooms, dedicated studies or family rooms, and generous entertaining space.
Interiors showcase wide-plank hardwood flooring, custom fireplaces, Sub-Zero appliances, and designer kitchens with stone counters and high-end finishes. Lavish five-piece bathrooms include marble flooring, soaking tubs, and walk-in showers, creating a spa-like retreat in each primary suite. Many units also offer balconies, wet bars, and dedicated wine storage.
Select upper-floor residences capture sweeping views of the skyline and river beyond, while every home benefits from the quiet, leafy charm of facing the Public Garden: a view that’s both iconic and serene.
Zero Marlborough offers residents a full suite of luxury services in a discreet, residential setting. Amenities include 24-hour concierge and doorman, valet parking, a fully equipped fitness center, and on-site professional management. Security is robust yet unobtrusive, and the lobby offers a welcoming, private atmosphere rarely found in high-rise developments.
With just 12 units in the building and only a handful of floor plans, availability at Zero Marlborough is exceptionally limited. Homes here rarely trade hands, making each opportunity to purchase a rare chance to own one of Back Bay’s true legacy residences.
Whether you're seeking a quiet full-time home or a statement pied-à-terre, Zero Marlborough offers unmatched exclusivity, refined finishes, and a front-row seat to one of Boston’s most beloved parks.
