The Leather District

Loft Living Close to Everything

Centrally located, the Leather District has boutiques, Les Zygomates Wine Bar Bistro, gourmet convenience store Sangarino's Market and a small assortment of other independent shops and galleries. Its immediate walking proximity to Chinatown, Downtown Crossing, and South Station provide residents with all daily needs and a broad variety of services very close by.

History

The Leather District is situated between South Station and Chinatown. It was originally established as a commercial district with industrial manufacturing warehouses and textile factories. Many of these buildings, which run five and eight stories, were constructed in the 1880's and originally configured specifically for the manufacturing, assembly and display needs of the leather industry and related wholesalers. The bulk of these buildings still stand today and over the past 50 years they have been re-imagined as brick and beam office space, and a large number of them converted to loft condominiums since the 1980's. Today the Leather District is a mix of commercial and residential uses.

Architecture

The Leather District has one of the highest concentrations of true urban residential loft spaces in Downtown Boston. The area is replete with high-ceiling units with open duct work, exposed brick and iron beams. Many of the buildings have a ground floor of retail storefront space.

Transportation

Residents of the Leather District have the convenience of South Station – a hub for Amtrak, Multiple Bus Lines, the MBTA Commuter Rail, and the Red Line, and immediate on and off access to I-93 and the MassPike.
