Lincoln Plaza Residences, at 70 Lincoln Street in Boston's Leather District, is an eight-story condominium community with 84 residences, converted to homes in 2006.
The condominium joins two adjoining historic buildings, known as the Essex and the Lincoln, which together fill much of the block between Lincoln, Essex, and South Streets. The Lincoln building dates to 1894 and was designed by Willard T. Sears, and its first occupants included a shoe and leather company, a reminder of the era when these blocks were the center of New England's leather trade. Before the residential conversion, the complex served as office space. Homes carry addresses at both 70 Lincoln Street and 181 Essex Street.
Residences include studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom homes, with many one-bedrooms around 700 square feet and two-bedrooms topping 1,000 square feet. Interiors reflect the buildings' loft heritage, with high ceilings, large windows, and hardwood floors, paired with updated kitchens.
The buildings share a secure entrance, a common courtyard, elevator service, and extra storage for residents, along with street-level commercial space. Some homes look out toward the Rose Kennedy Greenway and Chinatown Park.
Few downtown addresses are this well connected. South Station, with Red Line, Silver Line, Commuter Rail, and Amtrak service, is a short walk away, and the Financial District and the Greenway are just beyond it. The restaurants and bakeries of Chinatown are across the street, and the Theater District is a few blocks west. Nearby Leather District buildings include 210 Lincoln Street and 717 Atlantic Avenue.
For buyers who want loft character, a manageable building size, and a downtown location without the high-rise feel, Lincoln Plaza Residences offers one of the Leather District's larger collections of homes.
