The Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences at One Dalton Street topped off on August 7, making it the third-tallest building in Boston and the highest tower built in the city since 1976. Due to a lack of remaining sites and various zoning restrictions, the 742 foot One Dalton tower could be the last skyscraper built in Boston and all of New England for the foreseeable future, Curbed noted. Upon completion, One Dalton will have 215 hotel rooms and 160 luxury condos.

To compile the rankings, Zumper used data comparing rent prices, median incomes, unemployment rates, crime rates, infant care costs and other factors.
  • The Asian Real Estate Association of America hosted its annual summer cruise on the Boston Harbor in July.

  • As renovation plans for the Northern Avenue Bridge begin, people around Boston are debating what mode of transportation the bridge should focus on: cars, buses, pedestrians or bikers. In a recent Boston Globe article, advocates from each side argued for why the nearly $100 million redevelopment plans should target a specific mode of transportation. Some claim a focus on cars would reduce traffic in other parts of the city while others argue it would end up creating more traffic. The decision is expected to be announced by 2019 when the designs are released.
