📰 News we're reading

• No Outside Bidders for Back Bay Retail Property (bankerandtradesman.com) — A prominent Back Bay retail building at 795-799 Boylston Street, formerly a Capital One Café, drew just one bid at a foreclosure auction, with the lender offering $25.7 million. Held right on the sidewalk at Boylston and Fairfield, the auction underscores shifting demand for prime neighborhood retail space and could shape what eventually replaces the long-vacant storefront.
