You’ve more than likely seen it, it’s the mystery building shrouded in black canvas at the southwest corner of Boylston Street and Ring Road (just northeast of Shaw’s) – it’s the upcoming Boston Mandarin Oriental.
There’s no doubt that the residences at the Mandarin (with a $3 million minimum price tag) will further the class and style that the Back Bay is known for, but is the Mandarin Oriental pushing the ultra-posh factor too far? With the city, and what seems like the bulk of the Boston population, pushing “affordable housing”, are the Mandarin Condos a hypocritical slap in the face?
The 50-unit condo development at 750 Boylston Street is nearly sold out. With prices ranging from $3 million to $12 million, no expense is being spared with these Boston ultra-luxury residences.
