| Holland Partners Group COO Tom Parsons (snapped here in one of its under-construction Dexter Avenue projects) isn't worried about the number of units set to come on the market: "We under supplied apartments for most of the past six years, so pent-up demand is strong," he tells us.

Jim Atkins: "Hats off to Nat Bosa." And Tom is the contrarian: "The market is tight and deals are evaporating. There is demand for new condos, just a difficult environment for development when it comes to financing." |
