10. 1440 Beacon Street, Brookline, a 136 unit apartment complex located near Coolidge Corner, sold in February for $52,900,000.   

“Despite a slowdown in the residential real estate sector, the Norfolk County commercial real estate market remains vibrant,” Register O’Donnell noted. “It appears that the top sales consisted primarily of a mixed bag of residential apartments, retail space, industrial and warehouse space, and distribution facilities. This activity bodes well for the Norfolk County economy in terms of employment and tax revenue. These ten sales generated over $4.2 million in excise taxes for the state and county. We hope 2022 continues in a positive trend.”
