Boston's 20 most expensive home sales of 2016
Newly constructed or converted homes dominate the map. In fact, more than one-quarter of the 20 priciest were in a single property: Millennium Tower, which opened this year as Boston's tallest residential building (for now).
Curbed Cup first round: (4) Downtown Crossing vs. (13) Seaport District
The Curbed Cup, our annual award for the Greater Boston neighborhood of the year, is kicking off with 16 areas vying for the prestigious (fake) trophy. This week we'll have two matchups per day, and all the results and the full tournament bracket will be reviewed on Friday.
The five Boston neighborhoods to watch
These are the five neighborhoods to watch as 2016 begins its slow fade into 2017. Why are they the five to watch? Because of the changes afoot in each, most of it due to new developments and some of it quite existential.

Boston's 10 most expensive home sales in August
Newer condos dominated the 10 most expensive home sales in Boston in August. Fully seven were in either ongoing conversions in Back Bay or in the recently opened Millennium Tower in Downtown Crossing.
Big price-chop could be Millennium Tower first
New England’s tallest residential building has seen its share of price-chops—but usually as a deal closes. Now comes a pre-closing reduction for a 1,745-square-foot spread on the 60-story tower’s 38th floor.
Boston’s most expensive home sale ever
The sale of the 13,000-square-foot, 60th-floor penthouse at Millennium Tower that was asking $37,500,000 has closed. The buyer is John Grayken, a private equity billionaire originally from Cohasset.

Boston's 10 priciest home sales in July
Sales in new developments such as Millennium Tower and Four51 Marlborough were among the 10 priciest in Boston in July. Also, several of the biggest deals from last month closed only after often-titanic price-chops.
Millennium Tower: the ultimate timeline
Deeds for the first 47 condos to close at the Downtown Crossing spire were filed last week with Suffolk County. The milestone marks the end of the years-long journey of what (for) is Boston’s—and New England’s—tallest residential tower.
Millennium Tower unit Boston’s highest rental ever
The new owner of the 48th-floor condo wants to lease it for five figures a month. Since no residential tower in the city stretches anywhere near 48 floors, it looks like this spread is the highest rental ever offered in Boston.
One Bromfield back to the drawing board
It looked like 2016 would be the year for the long-stalled plan to plunk a tower at Washington and Bromfield streets in Downtown Crossing. Neighborhood opposition has doomed the current plans, but the developer is promising a redesign.
Massive Millennium Place penthouse finally sells
The 3-BR, 3-BA spread, which includes a hot tub amid its 1,000 square feet of outdoor space, had been asking more than $5,000,000. The price steadily came down, and the seller regularly switched brokerages. A deal for the condo just closed.
Boston’s biggest home sale ever
A billionaire investor who made his fortune in delinquent loans and distressed properties has bought Millennium Tower’s 13,000-square-foot penthouse for more than $30,000,000. Thing is, though, he’s not likely to live there full-time.
Is this billionaire the Millennium Tower PH buyer?
A report says a Texas tycoon with local roots paid more than $30,000,000 for the 13,000-square-foot spread in the new tower. That sum would make the deal the most expensive home sale in Boston history.

Mapping Downtown Crossing's Giant New Towers
Millennium Tower is almost done and One Bromfield is probably not too far behind. Both will be among Boston's 10 tallest buildings when they're finished as will whatever goes up nearby in Winthrop Square. And these are just for starters.
One of New England's Tallest Towers Planned
A New York developer has resurrected plans for a building at Bromfield and Washington streets in Downtown Crossing. This time, though, instead of a 28-story spire, the proposal calls for a 59-story one.
Parking-less 'Pencil Tower' for Downtown Crossing
The more than 300-foot spire would rise from the site of the old Felt nightclub, the facade of which would be incorporated into the apartment tower's design. Radically enough, the plans do not include parking.
Millennium Place Penthouse Up for Sale at Steep Discount
The six-room spread with a giant solarium-slash-terrace has been on and off the market since the fall of 2015. It is back on for hundreds of thousands off its original asking price.
