Where Is It?

The condos are located, along with the hotel, at 776 Boylston in Boston’s Back Bay (only a block from our office!)

A unique blend between Boston’s urban culture and its historic architecture can be found here in what many call the heart of the city. Stretching from Massachusetts Avenue to the Boston Public Garden, the tree-lined streets filled with brownstone homes introduce a new type of city living to many first-timers in Boston. The collection of boutiques, galleries, department stores, and restaurants found within the Prudential Center, Copley Place and on Newbury Street provide a shopping experience like no other found in New England. When one combines these qualities with the natural attributes of the Boston Common and the Esplanade on the Charles River, all topped by the additional architectural attractions found in the Trinity Church and Boston Public Library, the Back Bay quickly becomes a top choice for prospective renters and buyers. Apartments and condominiums vary from charming brownstones to New York style high-rises with concierge services. Travel is made easy via the city’s convenient and efficient Green Line T transportation. Commuters venturing beyond the city limits can catch a train to New York, Providence Rhode Island,  or other east coast destinations at Back Bay Station.

Why Do We Love It?

This was one of the most talked about projects in Boston in recent years – with sales in the building finished before the project even was! One of the Penthouses was on our “Top 120 Most Expensive Home Sales in Boston” list at #1.  Just reading about this listing shows why people love this property:

Boston’s most awe inspiring Penthouse ever to be built!!!!  14 stories above Back Bay, this 8,000 sf  oasis features  floor-to-ceiling windows on 4 sides providing unmatched and unobstructed views of Boston’s skyline, Cambridge and The Charles River.  Unique in every way this sprawling  top floor residence includes two large terraces and two enormous private decks spanning over 3,000sf, which can be accessed by private elevator truly allowing the city to become yours.   Four garage parking spaces.

What Is Around It?

Well, our office is right up the street, what more could you want! Ha Ha! The Mandarin is literally attached to the Shops at Prudential – meaning you have direct access to 100’s of boutiques, the new Boston Sports Club, Barney’s, Saks, Barnes and Noble… the list goes on and on. Snowy day? You don’t have to set a foot outside for anything!
