PHOTOGRAPHY BY SAMUELS & ASSOCIATES "TODAY'S FULL-SERVICE BUILDINGS CATER TO THE LUXURY RESIDENT LOOKING FOR SOMETHING EDGIER." —LESLIE COHEN THE SKYLINE CLUB IN THE MARKET FOR A LUXURY APARTMENT? THESE MIGHT WORK. BY TONYA MEZRICH Panoramic views, state-of-the-art gyms, five-star concierge services— what's not to love? Three luxury residence buildings offer Bostonians a spanking-new brand of lush living that comes with loaned-out scooters, dog spas, Meile-applianced kitchens, and on and on... and on. 30 DALTON You may rent for life after experiencing 30 Dalton's commitment to day-to-day poshness, starting with its location: "The nexus of the South End, Back Bay, and Fenway," says General Manager Alissa Kekeisen. The Stats: Two hundred and eighteen luxury rental units (includ- ing two duplex penthouse suites aptly named The Charles and The Fenway), 26 floors, three elevators. The Design: Interiors decorated by Cambridge Seven Associates, with KitchenAid appliances in standard units and Miele in the two pent- houses. Exterior designed by Pei Cobb Freed, the same architect behind the Four Seasons next door, which is slated to open in 18 months. The Perks: A dog spa, monthly "yappy hour" dog parties, "loanables" (picnic baskets, scooters, phone chargers, etc.), a community library, business center, 24-hour gym, and building-appointed personal trainer. The Icing: The Skyline Suite, a 26th-floor amenity space with sweeping views of Boston, triple-high ceilings, a billiards table, bar, and an outdoor terrace—with heaters and blankets with which to enjoy those chilly winter nights. 30 Dalton St., 877-431-1073; 30dalton.com Better together: The Pierce's top floor will be reserved for a "penthouse" common area in which all guests can enjoy 360-degree views.
