Mixed-Use
Natick, MA – Nauset Construction recently completed the transformation of the former St. Patrick’s School in Natick into a mixed-use development consisting of 46 apartments, 12,000sf of retail, and four for-sale duplex homes. Located at 45 E. Central St., within walking distance of the Natick Center Cultural District, the project was developed by Stonegate Group and designed by Finegold Alexander Architects.
“We are thrilled to finally open our doors and share what we’ve built with the community. The project was a true team effort, and we have many people to thank. While it wasn’t easy to get to this point, the end-product is one that all involved should be proud of,” said Stonegate CEO, Sean McGrath.
The apartment units at the 89,500sf “Friendly 40B” development range from one to three bedrooms, and the duplex homes include three- to four-bedroom units. Fourteen of the apartments are designated as affordable. The retail portion of the 4-story main structure features ground-floor retail/restaurant space, accompanied by outdoor seating. There is a mix of surface and underground residential parking, and the complex is within walking distance to the Framingham/Worcester Commuter Rail and MBTA bus lines.
“Our collaboration with Stonegate Group and Finegold Alexander Architects has set a new standard for mixed-use developments in Natick. This project highlights the power of teamwork and the invaluable expertise and commitment of our skilled subcontractors,” said Benjamin Goldfarb, vice president of Nauset Construction.
The project marks a return to the Town of Natick for Nauset Construction, which completed extensive renovations to Clock Tower Place in 2014.
