On Saturday the 17th of October the Bryant Back Bay auctioned off 10 of the remaining 40 units to a room of about 80 people.  Our agents were there for the auction with one of them representing a buyer who bought the unit with the largest discount!  I’ve created a PDF of the auction results for you.  Here is the link:

The Bryant Back Bay Results PDF

Did you miss the auction?  Not to worry.  As usual, the remaining units from the Bryant will go back on the regular market with adjusted pricing.  With it’s great location and fantastic finishes, I predict the remaining inventory will begin to move somewhat quickly!

1. Boston Apartment Rental Data A representative from a company called rentBits reached out to...

A group of residents from Boston’s Back Bay filed a petition to preserve the 104 year old Shreve building at the corner of Boylston St. and Arlington St. in Boston’s Back Bay.  Ronald Druker, a local real estate developer with projects like Atelier 505, the Colonnade Hotel and Residences, and the neighboring Heritage on the Garden, owns the Shreve building and has plans to demolish and rebuild office and retail space on the site.

The city of Boston has already denied landmark status to the building clearing the way for Druker to move forward but this appeal is now stalling his $120 million plans.

Source: BostonHerald.com

My Thoughts: That block of Boylston is awful looking the way it is.  Retail is just about non-existent and the buildings are becoming dilapidated.  Druker owns the building, the people of Back Bay don’t.  While I believe historic preservation is important for key buildings, buildings like this shouldn’t have the right to the same protection.  Developers develop to make money.  If they aren’t allowed some leeway then buildings are going to sit empty and become a rundown eyesore.  As long as the plans fit in with the existing neighborhood I believe it’s time to put something that will add to the neighborhood on that corner.  It’s prime Back Bay real estate and should be treated as such.
