La Victoire at 25 Isabella Street—is a standout church restoration in Boston’s historic Bay Village neighborhood. Led by respected local developer KEMS Corporation and designed by the award-winning team at Finegold Alexander Architects, the project transforms the former Our Lady of Victories Church into 18 one-of-a-kind luxury residences, including two deed-restricted affordable units. This adaptive reuse preserves the church’s original masonry façade and Gothic window details while introducing a striking, all-electric seven-story addition. Sustainability is central to the design, with high-efficiency air-source heat pumps, EV-ready automated parking, and a super-insulated building envelope. Each unit is unique—some incorporate replicated Gothic windows from the church’s nave, while others offer contemporary penthouse layouts with skyline views. With thoughtful preservation, cutting-edge architecture, and deep neighborhood integration, La Victoire sets a new standard for blending historic character with modern urban living.

La Victoire is designed with sustainability at its core, featuring an all-electric infrastructure powered by high-efficiency air-source heat pumps and an advanced building envelope that exceeds current energy codes. The development includes EV-ready automated parking, bicycle storage, and a fully accessible garden-level entry, offering both environmental responsibility and everyday convenience. Inside, no two units are alike—some preserve elements of the original church, such as replicated Gothic windows and soaring ceilings in the former nave, while others embrace modern penthouse styling with dramatic city views. The result is a collection of thoughtfully crafted residences that balance historic charm with contemporary luxury.
La Victoire Location
Bay Village is one of Boston’s smallest and most charming neighborhoods, tucked between the South End, Back Bay, and the Theatre District. Known for its quiet, tree-lined streets and historic brick rowhouses, the area blends the feel of a European village with the convenience of downtown living. Originally built by the same craftsmen who constructed Beacon Hill, Bay Village features classic 19th-century architecture and a strong sense of community, all within walking distance of Boston’s top cultural, dining, and shopping destinations.
