The 92-apartment Waterstone at the Circle independent living community for active adults was developed by National Development of Newton Lower Falls and is managed and operated by EPOCH Senior Living of Waltham. Waterstone at the Circle is part of a larger development that includes a 162-room AC Marriott hotel, retail and dining. Located at the corner of Beacon St. and Chestnut Hill Ave., the development straddles the Brookline and Boston boundaries. 

The Waterstone at the Circle independent living apartments is an extension of the Waterstone brand, developed by EPOCH Senior Living when it opened Waterstone at Wellesley in 2012. Amenities include a fitness and aquatic center, restaurant-style dining room, theater and underground parking.

The historical Cleveland Circle site housed the New Circle Theatre, which delivered live performances from 1940 through 1965 before being redeveloped as the Circle Cinema and various restaurants. The landmark metal “Circle” sign was incorporated into Waterstone at the Circle’s design. The Boston Redevelopment Authority and the Brookline Zoning Board of Appeals approved the development in 2014.
