Proposed Project Back Bay
Tuesday, October 30th, Trinity Stuart LLC, a joint venture that includes principals of the Saunders Hotel Group, proposed a $225 Million project that would bring a 33-story hotel and residential high rise to Boston’s Back Bay. 40 Trinity Place, the proposed project, would be a 400-foot tower featuring 220 hotel rooms, 142 luxury condominiums, 100 parking spaces, two restaurants, and conference facilities. The Architectural Team of Chelsea was hired to design the exterior of the building while Stonehill & Taylor Architects will focus on the interior. The 400-foot tower is planned for the site of the former John Hancock Hotel and Conference Center on Stuart Street. The developers plan to demolish the current eight-story building
The proposed development has support from Mayor Thomas Menino. When asked about the development, Menino said: “[the tower] will be a wonderful addition…it will bring even more visitors from all over the world”. Some local residents have already voiced their concerns over potential shadows, changes in the wind, and traffic. The project will require relief in zoning regulations pertaining to height and density on the proposed site.. The growth of this project is one to monitor in the coming months.

This sale by Carmela Laurella was $5.550 million, the most expensive condo sold at The Ritz-Carlton in 3 years, and the 3rd most expensive condo sold in Boston this year.

New Development On The Rise In Boston’s Popular Neighborhoods

New developments are on the rise in Boston
According to a Boston Globe article* published this morning, area developers are going before city officials this evening to seek approval to build several new residential towers. The creation of these new structures would add more than 1,400 units to the city. Low interest and vacancy rates, coupled with the high lease prices brought about current market conditions, have created an outstanding opportunity for developers to capitalize on large potential profits. Luxury Boston real estate is no longer limited to brownstones and waterfront condos – rental units in luxury developments across town are a hot ticket in today’s economic climate. Developers are eager to take advantage of this opportunity to build throughout the city, and to bring in higher profits than have been possible over the past several years.
The five proposed projects include a 404-unit apartment tower on Stuart Street; 318 back bay luxury apartments in a high-rise at Copley Place; 240 units along the Greenway in rapidly up and coming Chinatown; a 236-unit tower in the Seaport district; and 210 units in prime space on Boylston Street in the Fenway.
Mayor Thomas Menino commented that he and other city officials now receive proposals for residential development projects nearly every day, something he said has not seen for several years. According to George Fantini, chairman of mortgage banking firm Fantini & Gorga, “There has never been a better time in the last 40 years to develop a multifamily project in Boston.”

High End Sales Push City & Waterfront’s Prices up 10%

Boston’s Downtown Condo Market is booming this year. The overall median price for Boston rose by 10.2 percent to $487,000 this year, while luxury building prices rose 13.1 percent to a median of $735,000. Both of these metrics are only about $15,000 shy of 2008 peak prices just before the financial crisis frightened buyers.
Although these numbers seem good, citywide home sales in Boston have declined by 10% since last year. The increase in both medians is likely due to the 26.8 percent increase in high-priced luxury condominium sales, most of which are in the downtown Boston area. Another major factor allowing prices to increase while sales decrease is that there is simply less supply, giving sellers more power in the market. Debra Taylor Blair, president of the Listing Information Network, a Boston company that tracks the city’s downtown condo market, presented the idea that “Sellers can rent their properties out and more than cover their mortgage.” This at least partially explains home-owners’ reluctance to sell, and points to positive trends in market confidence despite the sales decrease.
John Ranco, a broker with the South End’s Hammond Residential Real Estate, also pointed out that much of last year’s sales were driven by federal home buyer tax credit. These incentives mainly affect first-time home buyers, and therefore lower-priced sales. Again, this helps explain 2011’s lower sales quantities but higher prices.

The Stanley Cup once again was raised high over the Boston Waterfront neighborhood with the Boston Bruins and friends. But the celebration didn’t stop here. The Cup was also paraded through the city on Saturday, starting from the Garden in the North End and through a sea of ‘black & yellow’ all the way to Copley Plaza. But while it was here on the Waterfront at the Union Wharf luxury buildings, NorthEndWaterfront.com captured these great photos.

Finding Love is Like Find the Perfect Home
You may not realize it, but finding the perfect Boston luxury home is actually a lot like find the perfect mate!
Finding true love and finding a home you will truly love, both start with you looking for something that will be in your future. Like dating, when you search for a new home, you go searching for something attractive, comfortable, and even sexy. There are certain criteria or conditions to be met like size/heart, how many rooms/weight, date built/age, updated appliances/nip-tuck, missing shingles/hair loss, etc.
Each home has its upside and downside just like each date. Is it a warm place/does he have heart? Are there too many stairs/is she understanding? Can I hear the neighbors through the walls/is he listening to me?
So you keep searching and dating, then finally, you find it! The perfect Boston home and the perfect person.
