From Dave Brigham:
I think it would be pretty cool to live in a converted church, with the soaring ceilings, amazing windows and sense of religious history. Below is The Lucas in Boston's South End/Chinatown neighborhood. Located in the former German Holy Trinity Catholic Church (which dates to 1874), the condo development features 33 luxury units ranging in price from $525,000 to $4 million. Wow....
On a recent stroll through this area, I also saw the 100 Shawmut project two doors down. This one is slated to open in the fall of 2020.
The development team includes the Davis Companies, the Boston Chinese Evangelical Church and the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association. When completed, the building will feature 138 luxury units. The plan calls for going up 13 stories and maintaining the facade of the six-story former office building that dates to the 1920s.
Between 100 Shawmut and The Lucas sits the Boston Chinese Evangelical Church at 120 Shawmut Avenue. This redevelopment calls for the expansion of the house of worship in order to consolidate BCEC’s services onto one site, per this article. A third building, 50 Herald Street, currently owned by the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association of New England, will contain 313 residential units with ground floor retail, commercial, cultural, and/or community space along Washington Street, per the article.
The redevelopment drum beat continues....
