Live in a newly renovated, true piece of Fall River history at Sacred Heart Lofts. This landmark Romanesque Revival church and rectory originally built in 1883 once served as a vibrant cornerstone of the community during the city's textile boom. Built to hold up to 900 worshippers with rich, ornate details, it stood as a beloved gathering place for generations until its closure in 2014. Now thoughtfully revitalized, the 151-year-old landmark has been converted into 46 market-rate apartments that honor its past while creating something entirely new.
What makes these homes truly unique is the preserved historic architecture. The former sanctuary's soaring high ceilings, expansive volume, and grand spatial integrity have been transformed into dramatic loft-style living flooded with natural light and featuring restored original details that blend timeless character with modern finishes. Whether you choose a traditional two-bedroom apartment or an open two- or three-bedroom loft, every unit showcases the building's heritage in ways no ordinary apartment can: think lofty, light-filled spaces that feel both reverent and remarkably spacious.
All units include premium amenities like in-unit washer/dryer combos, fully equipped kitchens, central air, and high-end touches.
Conveniently located with easy access to major routes, dining, shopping, and local colleges.
