I appreciate how nice the unit is, however the square footage and level of finish doesn't warrant the price. It's the hottest neighborhood, but the unit isn't a 9M dollar unit. But ,they'll probably have someone with money, and no taste or idea of what bang you should get buy it . The laundry sans sink looked as common as a laundromat.im sure the amenities in the building are top notch,but the unit itself to me is a bit lackluster in what it includes.
@sirus312 4 күн бұрын
ya looks a bit dingy for 9 million. Better off getting a smaller pad if you need to stay in boston, then a dope house on the cape/vineyard. Or if 9 million means nothing to you then just pay the price and be done.
@luxuryboston 3 күн бұрын
I understand your perspective. The price is dictated by the uniqueness and lack of comparable homes in Boston - particularly within the Seaport District, on the harbor. It's an amazing property but would the unit command this price anywhere else? Probably not. Thanks for watching & commenting.

Sometimes I wonder if real estate prices in (or near) Boston are also influenced by various kinds of taxes (federal, state, and local) for real estate transactions in the area. I would suppose that sellers pay capital gains taxes for transactions, and I would suppose that buyers pay real estate sales taxes for transactions.

I have viewed many videos on this KZfaq channel. They are always good for vicarious enjoyment and education even just for ordinary people like me. It's good to see what people can accomplish if they have sufficient wealth and materials and technology. I'm reminded of an old brief poem entitled "Boston" by Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869-1935) copied here from Wikisource ..... "My northern pines are good enough for me, But there's a town my memory uprears, A town that always like a friend appears, And always in the sunrise by the sea. And over it, somehow, there seems to be A downward flash of something new and fierce, That ever strives to clear, but never clears The dimness of a charmed antiquity."

Born in 1960, I vaguely remember trips into the area around '65-66, and what was there before this high rise went up. Unfortunately, the front of the building never seemed to attract enough of the upscale clientele the neighborhood needed. Shabby storefronts proliferated through the decades. The fact that there's a large public housing property hidden behind the block is not a plus. A nearby alley was a notorious hangout for addicts and criminal types, which the police had trouble monitoring. Was in the area almost daily until about a decade ago. Would like to think that things have improved there, but have my doubts.
@luxuryboston 6 күн бұрын
Thank you for your insight. The area has certainly changed a lot over even the last 10 years but can still be “shady” at times. This activity seems to be centralized around the Brewer fountain & Boston Common entrance by Park Street. The area in front of Tremont on the Common & side streets have cleared up for the most part.

I like how they restored it, but the glass part in the middle is too high and dominant. If it's at least two stories shorter, the chuch tower would stick out, and the whole thing would be more balanced and more in line with the old silhouettes. I get that the top floors are the most lucrative condos, and it's great they restored the old bits, but from outside, the main addition is too unbalanced for me. The new doors and windows are good, but the church tower looks now like a glorified elevator shaft.

Yes, in some instances. It depends on length of ownership and several other factors. If it’s done right people can almost live “free” in some of these buildings. Also, if the unit is purchased and leased out, rental income more than accounts for tax/hoa . Really depends on the scenario.
