Three new multimillion-dollar condominiums went on the market earlier this month at the Four Seasons One Dalton, a swanky Back Bay tower that boasts the city’s tallest residential property.
A notable unit for sale is a duplex penthouse listed for $35 million. The 7,256-square-foot unit has four bedrooms, six bathrooms, and expansive views of Boston and the Charles River. The unit was first listed for $30 million in February and increased 16.7 percent to $35 million by the end of the month, according to the property’s Zillow history.

“It’s negotiable, but we’ve set the bar at $35 million,” said John Lonborg, director of sales at The Collaborative Companies, which represents developer Carpenter & Company.
Lonborg emphasized the unit’s elevation “742 feet to the sky” in the tower’s southwest corner, offering sweeping views of the Boston Harbor Islands, South Shore, Fenway Park, and even western Massachusetts and parts of the Berkshires. said. New Hampshire.

He also emphasized that the property is “part of an elite program with a full range of white glove services” offered by all Four Seasons properties around the world. This includes access to a 65-foot indoor lap pool, fitness center, private Pilates studio, golf simulator, private resident theater, Four Seasons Spa, and 50/50 private resident lounge.

One Dalton opened in 2019 during Boston’s luxury building boom. The 61-story tower is part of a wave of new housing for the ultra-wealthy. In recent years, developers have built about five times as many luxury condominiums for the wealthy per household, by one measure, as affordable apartments for low-income people, according to a Boston Globe analysis last year. It turned out that it was.
Two other homes listed this month (a three-bedroom and a four-bedroom) are priced at $16.75 million and $15.75 million, respectively. Earlier this year, Wang Dalton listed seven studios with small 371-square-foot units ranging from $795,000 to $2 million.
The Globe previously reported that many people buy apartments as pied-à-terres for visits to the city, while keeping their home base elsewhere. Residents cycle in and out of One Dalton throughout the year, and the building’s luxurious amenities provide ample opportunity to rub shoulders with other One Daltons.
So far, interest in these luxury properties has not increased enough.
“We’ve had inquiries, but the luxury market across the city is quiet, especially at this price point,” Lonbaugh said.
At the same time, Boston is facing an unprecedented housing crisis as luxury developments spring up from the Fenway to the Seaport. The city’s median sales price for single-family homes hit a record high of $960,000 in June, while the median condo price hit its highest of the year at $750,000 in the same month, according to the Greater Boston Association of Realtors. did.
