Repurposed Boston Monastery – Now a Multifamily – Earns Preservation Award
The Overlook at St. Gabriel’s in Brighton, MA, has been presented with a Boston Preservation Alliance Preservation Achievement Award. What was once historic monasteries and churches is now a 555-unit residential community that held its grand opening in 2021.
According to the property’s owner, Boston-based Cabot, Cabot & Forbes, every effort was made to restore and preserve architectural detail while providing residents with modern conveniences.
“Historic preservation can provide real opportunities for commercial real estate,” said John Sullivan, EVP of Cabot, Cabot & Forbes. “Being able to breathe new life into a property that has had a previous life and has a story to tell adds value and connection to the local culture and community.”
The Overlook also served as the host location for this year’s Boston Preservation Alliance Awards gala. Since 1988, the alliance has honored people and projects that demonstrate the highest level of commitment to Boston’s historic character.
