Emerald Court is a residential complex in the St. Vincent neighborhood of South Boston, consisting of 245 one, two and three bedroom condominium units, an enclosed parking garage for approximately 318 cars and approximately 3,672 square feet of on-grade retail space.  The complex comprises the entire block between C and D Streets and West First and West Second Streets. 

The building is configured at the perimeter of the block to create a landscaped “green roof” courtyard in the open central portion that will be nearly one half acre in size.  A two level parking structure is located beneath the housing and the courtyard, with one half level below ground and the second level at grade.  Therefore, the courtyard is one story above ground.  The garage does not extend all the way to the property line on West Second Street, allowing the residential frontage to meet the sidewalk and give the feeling of four story townhouses along the street.
