This ±6 acre site, zoned RG-5, benefits from excellent highway accessibility, with convenient proximity to Interstates 190 and 290, Route 9, and the Mass Pike (I-90), positioning it perfectly for regional commuting and connectivity. Located in an area undergoing significant transformation, anchored by TCR’s adjacent 220-unit luxury development set for completion in early 2026, this parcel presents a compelling opportunity for a complementary project in a rapidly evolving neighborhood. The current owner has completed schematic plans for a 153-unit residential development. Previously, a fully permitted and approved 67-unit plan, de-signed by The Architectural Team, was granted approval by the City of Worcester without any affordable housing requirements. These approvals remain valid through 2028, offering flexibility for near-term development or the opportunity to re-permit a larger or phased project. A development of 250+ units is allowed by-right, with only the units exceeding the initial 67 subject to inclusionary zoning requirements.
