The Back Bay of Boston is no stranger to luxury real estate, from the time the tidal flats were filled in the late 1800’s, Back Bay quickly became one of the most elegant places to call home. And who would argue with that, especially with properties that are adjacent to the Public Garden, and only steps from Boston Common. One of the most peaceful and elegant streets in the city of Boston is Marlborough Street, and it is home to Zero Marlborough, a new 13-unit ultra-luxury condo development that is currently under construction.

The building renovation will be the work of architect Grassi Design Group, and the real estate developer that kicked this off is Sea-Dar Real Estate, both of which are out of Boston.

The nine remaining units are priced from $1,635,000 to $4,799,000 and offer 1,308 to 3,296 square feet (according to the Boston MLS). The penthouse sold some time ago (see Zero Marlborough Penthouse Sold), however, this full-service building still has plenty to offer the discerning buyer.

The Boston Courant reported today that the penthouse at Zero Marlborough went under agreement with a list price of $8,355,000 (according the Boston MLS, this actually happened back on February 12, 2007). Four of the available 13 units at the boutique luxury development seated at the foot of the Public Garden are under agreement, with eight units remaining. Still for sale are two to three-bedroom units priced from $1,635,000 to $4,799,000.

Zero Marlborough is currently on schedule for a Summer 2008 completion, similar to its ultra-luxury sister development, the Boston Mandarin Oriental, which is poised for a June 2008 occupancy date.

The Boston Courant spoke with the often quoted Kevin Ohearn, who stated “This is demonstrative…of the overall strength of the downtown (Boston) market, which is reacting contrary to national and state trends.”

Perhaps Kevin read our article from last month, City Center Condo Prices Buck Trend, where we said the exact same thing. Or perhaps Kevin read our Boston Condo Sales Increasing article from July, where we, again, said the exact same thing, namely, many reports that have come out lately are discussing Massachusetts housing statistics, rather than the city of (downtown) Boston itself, note the difference when looking at statistics.

Interesting. Perhaps the Boston Courant should contact and begin quoting Boston Condo Guy.
