A Fenway property that’s approved for a 28-story residential tower attracted a high bid of $28.1 million at a foreclosure auction Tuesday.

Housing developer Morro received approval in January for the 285,000 square-foot development, estimated at a project cost of $300 million. But before it could break ground, lender Mack Real Estate Credit Strategies scheduled a foreclosure auction through Paul E. Saperstein Co. on the $30 million mortgage.

A message was left with an attorney for the high bidder seeking additional details.

The nearly half-acre development site at 2 and 6 Charlesgate West includes a 56,000 square-foot office building. British student housing developer Scape bought it in 2019 for $39 million.

The project is approved for 400 residential units. A $3.2 million community benefits package approved by the Boston Planning & Development Agency includes a $500,000 payment to the Boston Parks & Recreation department and $300,000 to Fenway Community Development Corp.

The 2 Charlesgate development was proposed by Morro, an apartment specialist co-founded by Nigel Taee, chairman and founder of Scape, which developed the 1252 Boylston St. housing tower.

Approximately 30 people attended the public auction held Tuesday at the property.
