Gallivan and Wagner of Boston Realty Advisors bring La Maison du Chocolat locations to Boston

Boston, MA La Maison du Chocolat held its grand opening of its first city location at their newly opened boutique in the Mandarin Oriental Boston, a premier Boylston St. location in Back Bay. Hotel general manager, Markus Lindner, and residences director of operations, Edward Dustin, as well as representatives from La Maison du Chocolat, cut the ribbon officially announcing the opening of the storefront to the public.

Boston Realty Advisors introduced the renowned Parisian chocolatier, La Maison du Chocolat to its first city location. Retail leasing specialists Whitney Gallivan and Joe Wagner from BRA handled the transaction on behalf of the landlord. Boston Realty Advisors also assisted La Maison du Chocolat in securing its second location, representing the tenant for its space now open in the main level of the city’s Copley Place.

Founded in Paris in 1977, La Maison du Chocolat is internationally recognized for its handcrafted chocolates, ganaches, pralines, truffles, macarons and pastries. The new boutiques place the brand within one of New England’s most prominent luxury retail, hospitality and residential districts, near Newbury St., the Prudential Center, and Copley Place.

“La Maison du Chocolat is exactly the type of exceptional international brand we want to bring to Boston’s premier retail corridors,” said Gallivan. 

“The Mandarin Oriental and Copley Place locations provide the visibility, surrounding luxury environment and customer base that fit the brand extremely well.” Wagner said. “This transaction reflects the way we approach retail leasing: identifying best-in-class brands that strengthen a property and a neighborhood, while also building relationships that extend beyond a single transaction.”
