Centuries Old Cathedral in Boston Transformed into Luxury Homes
The Lucas in Boston is set to be one of the most unique homes you will ever come across.
The Holy Trinity Church in Boston’s South End has been a cornerstone of the community for over 150 years. It’s the only German Catholic Church in New England and has helped write the history of the local neighborhood. It has played host to school children, social functions, baptisms, and weddings since 1844. But in the near future, Holy Trinity Church will take on a new role – a place to call home.
Living at church is no longer just for local priests as The Lucas is a transformational project that will convert the Holy Trinity Church into a first-of-its-kind residential development. The concept alone is a mind-bending thought, but the fact that The Lucas will also look to marry contemporary design with cathedral architecture makes this project both monumental and enticing.
A new eight-story building will be inserted into the existing structure of the church. While that may sound destructive, the project will retain many of the exterior design and architecture of the church while adding steel, glass and other modern touches to make it an exceptional living experience.

Scheduled to be completed in the spring of 2017, The Lucas has already sold nearly 70% of the available units in the first 2 months. With price ranges that start at $525,000 and can go up to $4 million, there’s a variety unit sizes and features that can allow for anywhere from one to four bedrooms. In addition to adding contemporary design to a building built in the 1800’s, The Lucas will also boast a host of modern luxuries including a gym, lounge, a pet spa, and concierge services.
The Lucas is clearly one of the most unique homes in development, not just in Boston, but anywhere.
