Boston Realty Advisors has been selected as the exclusive advisor for the sale of Beacon Fairbanks Manor, a 56-unit, 100 percent market-rate multifamily property in Brookline, Massachusetts. The assignment, announced by the Boston-based real estate firm, was given by Chestnut Hill Realty, a leading New England multifamily owner and manager. The full announcement, including downloadable images and additional details, can be viewed click here.
The property’s significance lies in its combination of classic architecture, high ceilings, prominent corner presence, and established market-rate tenancy. These features support a durable in-place investment, appealing to buyers seeking stable cash flow in a supply-constrained market. Brookline’s multifamily sector has long been characterized by high barriers to entry and limited new development, making existing assets like Beacon Fairbanks Manor particularly attractive to institutional and private investors alike.
Located between Washington Square and Coolidge Corner, the property places residents within walking distance of two of Brookline’s most established neighborhoods, both offering a variety of retail, dining, and other amenities. This location provides a strong lifestyle proposition that helps sustain rental demand and supports long-term value appreciation. For Chestnut Hill Realty, the sale represents an opportunity to capitalize on the strong pricing environment for well-located multifamily assets while recycling capital into other parts of its portfolio.
The marketing effort comes at a time when Greater Boston’s rental market remains tight, with vacancy rates low and rents continuing to rise. Market-rate properties in desirable inner-ring suburbs like Brookline are especially sought after by investors who view them as defensive assets during economic uncertainty. Boston Realty Advisors, founded in 2001, is a privately held firm focused on middle-market investment sales, corporate real estate, and retail.

Chestnut Hill Realty, founded in 1969 and headquartered in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, owns and manages 32 apartment properties totaling approximately 5,000 units across Greater Boston and Providence. The company’s decision to sell Beacon Fairbanks Manor may reflect a strategic shift or a desire to take advantage of current market conditions.

The sale of Beacon Fairbanks Manor will be closely watched as a bellwether for pricing in Brookline’s multifamily market. If the property trades at a strong valuation, it could encourage other owners to list their assets, potentially increasing transaction volume in the area. For investors, the offering provides a rare chance to acquire a turnkey, market-rate building in one of Greater Boston’s most desirable suburbs. The outcome of this marketing campaign will also offer insight into how buyers are pricing in-place income against future rent growth potential in a supply-constrained market. As the exclusive advisor, Boston Realty Advisors is tasked with positioning the property to attract competitive bids. The firm’s track record in middle-market multifamily sales will be tested by the need to balance the property’s vintage charm with the operational efficiencies that modern investors often seek.
