Boston Condo Guy

Mitchell Properties LLC has recently opted to allow prospective tenants to sign 9-12 month leases with the option to sign a “lease to purchase contract” to contribute rent towards a future purchase at the new 700 Harrison condo development in Boston's South End. These new released rental units are moving fast - since last week, four units were rented after being on the market for only three days. Read more:700 Harrison Luxury Boston Rentals

When Berkeley Investments Inc., local Boston restaurateur Barbara Lynch, and Mayor Thomas Menino broke ground at the mixed-use FP3 condo development on Friday, April 20, 2007, the project was heralded as the new luxury baseline in the Fort Point Channel.

On the southeast corner of Newbury Street and Massachusetts Avenue (above Best Buy), the 360 Newbury development greets Boston's Back Bay residents with a sleek concierge-served lobby off of a Newbury Street entrance, and condos boast downtown skyline views, and high-end finishes and fixtures. We've put together a look at 2008 Boston 360 Newbury condo sales statistics. There's less turnover in the 54 loft-style unit building than one would think.

If you or a client of yours needs to purchase and move into a condo almost immediately, our list of move-in ready luxury Boston condo developments narrows down the choices for you. The typical one to three month real estate transaction life cycle is sometimes too lengthy for Buyers who need to move in quickly, situations like this can be specifically addressed by new construction condo developments that have been completed (a certificate of occupancy has been issued), and there are available units in the building still owned by the developer.
