The three Canal Place Buildings at 200 Market St and Renaissance by the River are all condos that were Mill buildings and not offices. There are a few others but the names escape me (John st maybe). Many of the other mill buildings are apartments.

If you’re prepared for condo living all of the buildings can be nice. Renaissance by the river has open floor plans, exposed brick and has that look we expect in a converted mill. Canal Place 1 is an older conversion and most of the units are two floors with the upper and lower floors sharing the same large window. It’s a love it or hate it situation. Canal Place 2 has some very interesting units in it, some if which are three stories and others with skylights and roof decks. It abuts a canal so half the building can see water all the time. Canal Place 3 is all one or two bedroom, single story units. It is newer than most. This buildings units are all finished, meaning very little or no exposed brick or original ceilings.

You’ll probably feel welcome at any of the condo buildings as empty nesters. If you have never owned a condo be sure to review the MA gov page about condos and always read the condo docs fully so you are not surprised after moving in.
