The last of the dumpsters outside the new D4 Condo Development at 7 Warren Avenue in the South End have been removed. Construction has taken one of the landmark properties in the South End, the former D4 Police Station, and converted it into a 26-unit boutique luxury condo development.
There are currently 8 units remaining at D4 for sale, including 2 and 3 bedroom units, starting at $1 million. For more information, please contact us.
Another exclusive photo of Trinity Place in Boston’s Back Bay. What’s that at the top of the building…the $15 million Trinity Place penthouse.
We’ve updated a previous post on the Boston Mandarin Oriental with exclusive new photos for your visual enjoyment.
You may have noticed the off and on closure of Ring Road in Boston’s Back Bay over the past nine months, as well as the stealthy looking structure covered in black mesh that has rather quickly changed the skyline at the southwest corner of Ring Road and Boylston Street (close to Shaws and Starbucks).
If you don’t already know what that structure is, impress your friends by letting them know that the building will be the new Boston Mandarin Oriental. Both a luxury hotel, and a 50-unit ultra-luxury condo development (minimum price tag of $3 million for a unit), the Mandarin will be a nice addition to the corner of Ring and Boylston, but will perhaps block the sun for patrons of Starbucks, Atlantic Fish Co., and others. The official address for the Mandarin will be 750 Boylston Street.
Condos at the Mandarin Oriental never made it into the MLS, and have sold out, simply through word of mouth and little to no significant marketing presence. For more information about the Mandarin, or other Back Bay condo developments, please contact us.

It’s now been over 100 days, and it does not appear as though there is a suitor for the most expensive condo to ever hit the market in Boston. Trinity Place, a 100-unit condo development dating back to 1999 construction created 2 penthouse units on its 18th floor, and through the foresight of a single individual, they have since been combined into what is now the highest priced listing to ever hit the Boston condo scene.
A 1,400 square foot gallery connects units 1801 and 1802, which together boast 8,500 square feet, 8 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, 2 fireplaces, and 4 valet-parking spaces. Is it really a “condo”, well, that’s for you to decide. Don’t forget the $10,000 per month HOA fee.
Back in March 2000, the present owner had the foresight to purchase both of the penthouse units, 1801 and 1802, for $3.95 and $3.75 million respectively. Should the seller obtain a sales price anywhere near the asking price of $15 million, a handsome profit will be pocketed.

The moment you’ve all been waiting for, the initial images / photos for The Clarendon Back Bay condo development at the corner of Clarendon Street and Stuart Street in Boston’s Back Bay.
The planned 32-story, 440,000-square-foot residential tower will provide ground-level retail, below-grade parking, 200 rental apartments, and 150 condominiums. Among the many things that The Clarendon is bringing to the neighborhood will be features specifically designed to mitigate the winds caused by the John Hancock tower diagonally across the street.
Get out your hard hat, construction continues on The Clarendon, a new construction building in the Back Bay, at the southeast corner of Clarendon and Stuart.
You may have accidentally stopped by the construction site yourself, in hopes of going to what was once the Back Bay Post Office (which is now on St James). The Clarendon Back Bay will be a mixed-use development, offering on the order of 400 residential units with an ownership and rental mix, a restaurant, and a new post office serving the Back Bay and surrounding areas.
The official condo development project address is: 131 Clarendon Street, 400 Stuart Street, and 390 Stuart Street.
Construction continues at the Bryant on Columbus, a new 50-unit luxury condo development in the Back Bay at 303 Columbus Avenue. If you recall, the Bryant condos will be known not just for their class and style, but for their size. Units will be built out with a minimum of two bedrooms – there is talk of including a limited amount of one-bedroom units into the layout of the building, but the development team has yet to make a definitive decision as to their inclusion.
We had the pleasure of stopping into 190 West Canton today to view Unit 3, a duplex 1,140 square foot penthouse unit with an amazing roof deck. A very unassuming entrance, with a slight smell of stale cigarette smoke, leads you up to a sparkling (and non-cigarette smelling) penthouse unit with one of the largest banks of windows in the South End.
This two-bedroom, two-bathroom home has all the amenities you are looking for:
Currently offered at $899,000, the $789 price per square foot is high, but you’re getting an absolute gem overlooking beautiful, and private, Carlton Park.
