Back Bay bust - flagship retail space set for auction
Former Oofos and Capital One Cafe
A fourteen thousand square foot potential flagship retail location in the heart of the Back Bay and steps from the Apple Store on Boylston Street is scheduled to be sold at auction in early December.
The sale comes as TJ Maxx plans to close its Newbury Street store, just three blocks away in early 2026.
Both Back Bay Lululemon locations, also just steps away, have been repeated victims of organized retail theft recently.
799 Boylston Street, a three level building at the corner of Fairfield Street directly next to Abe and Louie’s and across from the Pru, will hit the block according to Saperstein and Co auctioneers on December 9th.
A dootloop “for lease” posting has been active since at least April. In recent memorry the property was home to Oofos and a Capital One Cafe.
