The Lucas, a luxurious condominium complex like no other, stands as an impressive Boston adaptive reuse project that artfully combines 19th-century Gothic architecture designs with the latest cutting-edge design. This luxurious complex sits at 140 Shawmut Avenue within Boston's thriving South End community and underwent an incredible change from the German Trinity Catholic Church of 1874 to become an eight-story boutique complex that accommodates only 33 exclusive condos.

The strength of the architectural design statement made by the structure is evident at once: the original Roxbury puddingstone and granite exterior of the original church has been closely preserved to create a dramatic shell within which a multistory addition of black steel and glass makes a striking contrast that represents the community's past and future. The design of the structure has been made by architectural group Finegold Alexander Architects. The structure has won design awards.

The condos at The Lucas offer a level of luxurious living that no other property provides. All condos at The Lucas offer a distinct design since each has a different floor plan that incorporates the original architectural details from the original church. Some of these condos offer high ceilings reaching towards the heavens as well as stained glass windows and portions of the original 100-foot bell tower. The larger condos offer floor-to-ceiling windows within the new addition made of glass. These condos also include a gas fireplace and smart home capabilities. All of the condos include luxurious custom kitchens equipped with Sub-Zero appliances. Residents of The Lucas enjoy an intimate, full-service boutique experience with services tailored by a personal concierge. The list of resort-style condominium services and amenities afforded by The Lucas's luxurious Boston condominium community includes a state-of-the-art exercise room and residents' lounge/library, as well as a dynamic and beautiful courtyard with a fireplace. The community also includes a dog spa as well as secure garage parking accessible from ground-level doors. The Lucas sits conveniently near the renowned dining and retail options of the South End.
