A look at the kitchen. Geoffrey Gibbons, who handles expensive rentals in Back Bay for Coldwell Banker, said the Mandarin's rents will be the highest - $7.50 per square foot - among downtown's prestigious addresses, including The Four Seasons Boston, One Charles, and The Belvedere. Apartments on the middle floors of the 20-story Ritz-Carlton Boston Common rent for about $5 a square foot.
