The speakers included, friend of the firm, Jeff Lewis, from Bravo TV’s Flipping Out, along with Torrance Childs of BostonPrivate, and Wayne Lopez of Millennium Partners.
Top 3 Takeaways from the Millennium Tower Event
Brian Warner Dougherty
Brian Warner Dougherty, Partner at Robert Paul Properties, shares his top three takeaways from the Millennium Tower Event.
1. Speed Matters.
“When looking at these new luxury development opportunities in Boston, speed matters. The Millennium Tower Project is already 90% pre-sold, and potential buyers have to wait a year before they get another chance to purchase one of these coveted units. Many clients missed out on the opportunity to own Millennium Tower because they wanted to ‘see how it turned out first.’ Following the Millennium Tower buying trend, we should expect that upcoming luxury developments will sell out quickly too, long before clients have a chance to ‘see how it turns out.’ My first takeaway is to advise clients to align themselves with a great agent at Robert Paul Properties who is dialed in to the development landscape and can help them research a project, the developer, and their track record so that when the inventory gets released, they are ready to get a piece of the growing skyline!”
2. Amenities. Amenities. Amenities.
“It’s no longer acceptable to simply have a doorman or concierge. Buyers want more from their luxury residences such as private dining options featuring celebrity chefs, personal movie theaters, resident-only spas, fitness centers, and on-site doggie daycare for residents. Developers are constantly innovating in order to keep their developments attractive and competitive in the new luxury landscape.”
3. Higher is Better.
“If you are not afraid of heights, the view is becoming the next luxury amenity. The marketing and sales team for Millennium Tower focused largely on views, and to approximate the views, the developer arranged for drones to fly at the height of each residence and take photos and videos of what future owners would see. The developers and the buyers of Millennium Tower realize that it is ALL ABOUT the view. There are some amenities that are priceless, and a spectacular view is one of them.”
