The featured unit up for grabs is a duplex penthouse listed at $35 million. The 7,256-square-foot unit has four bedrooms, six bathrooms, and sprawling views of Boston and the Charles River. The unit was first listed at $30 million in February and was raised 16.7 percent to $35 million by the end of that month, according to the property’s Zillow history.
Three new multimillion-dollar condos were listed for sale earlier this month at Four Seasons One Dalton, the swanky Back Bay tower that boasts the highest residential homes in the city.
“There’s room for negotiation, but we set the bar at $35 million,” said John Lonborg, director of sales at The Collaborative Companies, representing developer Carpenter & Company.
Lonborg emphasized the unit’s elevation at “742 feet into the sky” on the southwest corner of the tower, which he said gives sweeping views of the Boston Harbor Islands, the South Shore, Fenway Park, and even the Berkshires in Western Massachusetts and parts of New Hampshire.
He also touted how the property is “part of an elite program that comes with all the white gloves service” every Four Seasons property across the globe offers. This includes access to a 65-foot indoor lap pool, fitness center, a private Pilates studio, golf simulator, private resident theater, the Four Seasons spa, and the 50/50 private resident lounge.

One Dalton opened in 2019 amid Boston’s luxury building boom. The 61-story tower is one development in a wave of new housing for the ultra-rich. A Boston Globe analysis last year found that by one measure, developers built about five times more luxury condos per household for the wealthy in recent years than affordable units for those of lower income.
The other two units listed this month, a 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom, carry price tags of $16.75 million and $15.75 million, respectively. Earlier this year, One Dalton listed seven studios for prices ranging from $795,000 to $2 million, with units as small as 371 square feet.
The condo is a duplex unit.
Many purchase the apartments as pied-á-terres for visits to the city while maintaining primary residences elsewhere, the Globe previously reported. Although residents cycle in and out of One Dalton throughout the year, the building’s lavish amenities provide ample opportunities to brush shoulders with other one-percenters.

So far, interest in these premier properties has come up short.
“We’ve had inquiries, but the high-end luxury market is quiet across the city, especially at this price point,” Lonborg said.
At the same time, as luxury developments pop up from Fenway to the Seaport, Boston faces an unprecedented housing crisis. The median sales price for single-family homes in the city hit a record $960,000 in June, while the median condo price peaked this year at $750,000 the same month, according to the Greater Boston Association of Realtors.
