Extravagance and environmentalism don’t seem like natural soulmates, but in Boston a new set of developments seamlessly combines the amenities and modern sensibilities of today’s luxury living with eco-conscious construction.

CAMBRIDGE — The global retail corner of Main & Main is for sale here in Harvard Square, considered among the world’s most recognized urban centers...

BOSTON—When selling 16-24 Union Park St., a coveted residential/retail building in the evolving South End, exclusive listing agent Boston Realty Advisors had Mount Vernon Co. at “Hello,” MVC Chairman Bruce A. Percelay recounts following his firm’s $5.42 million purchase that has just closed with $4.0 million in financing from Cambridge Trust Co. arranged by Cornerstone Realty Capital.

Taking the least desirable neighborhood in Allston and turning it into a national model for environmentally sensitive living is an extraordinary accomplishment. We are proud to congratulate Bruce A. Percelay and his team for their success as a company, and in permanently improving the quality of life in Allston.
