Following the Broadluxe auction that took place on June 21, 2008, where 29 out of 44 units were sold (66%), unit prices were raised to be more in line with resale market prices for other Financial District condos. Some were surprised to see that prices were raised on units that did not sell at the auction, however, it came as no surprise, as Tranzon (the auction company representing the Seller) announced that prices would be raised following the completion of the auction.
It was on Tuesday, June 24, 2008, that the updated pricing was released. Since that time, interest in the Broadluxe has not dimmed, and according to sources, units 2E, 6G, and 7F have all gone Under Agreement, and interest and offers are in on other remaining units.
Before the auction began, we assembled an exclusive comparable market analysis for Buyers that we were representing. This analysis provided a comprehensive look at comparable Financial District properties and Boston condo developments – armed with this information, logical conclusions can be drawn about what price per square foot values are reasonable and realistic for Broadluxe, both before and after the auction. This information is still available for clients with which we have a Buyer representation agreement.
The exclusive photos below are of Broadluxe kitchens in units 2A and 2E respectively – cooking is gas, self-closing-drawers are in all units (except for shell units obviously), and many units offer the island you see in the first panoramic photo (click on the image to enlarge).
