The Unitarian Universalist Association announced today it will sell its historic Beacon Hill properties and move its national headquarters to Boston's Fort Point neighborhood."
After considerable research and analysis, we came to the conclusion that our current facilities on Beacon Hill were ill-suited to a contemporary, forward-looking organization," said Tim Brennan, UUA's treasurer and chief financial officer. "Remaining in these buildings would have required millions of dollars in renovations over the next few years."
The Unitarian Universalists have been based at 25 Beacon St., next to the State House, since the building's construction in the 1920s. The UUA also will sell its office building at 41 Mount Vernon St. - home to publishing company Beacon Press - along with 6 and 7 Mount Vernon Place.
The group will open new headquarters at 24 Farnsworth St., leasing three floors in the six-story brick-and-beam building that the Davis Cos. bought for $14 million last summer.
The UUA has an option to buy the property, located in what's known as the Innovation District, in January 2015.
"Our headquarters needs to be flexible, use high technology and foster collaboration of groups of varying size," said the Rev. Peter Morales, president of the UUA. "This new facility will help us realize these important functions in a way that our current headquarters is unable to do."
The UUA was formed in 1961 with the consolidation of the American Unitarian Association and Universalist Church of America.
