Waltham’s newest condo community is open for business

The Corinthian, a luxury condo conversion of the historic St. Charles Borromeo Church, celebrated its grand opening last week.

The new development is located at 61 Hall St. in Waltham and features 20 high-end residential units, each with a unique renaissance architecture, modern amenities, off-street parking and close access to Moody St. Prices range from roughly $1 to $1.5 million.

St. Charles Church dates back to 1909, when the Roman Catholic Archdiocese decided to establish a second Catholic parish in Waltham. The 30,000-square-foot building was fully constructed in 1927 and is considered one of the finest examples of Italian Renaissance Revival architecture in the Boston area. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. 

The church was a staple in the community for almost a decade but closed due to challenges presented during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2023, it was acquired by local developer Hall Street Partners for $3 million. 

With the new restoration and conversion, the building’s stone trim, arching windows and millwork have all been preserved and enhanced. New features include a first-floor gym, hotel-style lobby, and shared and private patios. The Corinthian is named after the style of the columns that flank the front entrance on Hall Street.

“Breathing new life into St Charles Borromeo Church through The Corinthian is more than a transformation of space. It’s a celebration of Waltham’s history,” said Ryan Acone, the property’s real estate agent. “It preserves a cherished landmark while creating a new chapter for those who will call it home.” 

Acone noted that 14 of the units have already been sold. Six units are still available for sale — three on the first floor, one on the second floor, and two on the penthouse level.
