WORCESTER, MA (September 3, 2024) – F.W. Madigan Company (Madigan), Inc. has begun construction on the Worcester Boys Club Project, which includes the historic preservation and renovation of the 59,000 square foot former Worcester Boys Club in Lincoln Square, along with construction of a new five-story, 63,000 square foot building which will be connected to the existing structure. The new building will be constructed in part over the Ernest A. Johnson Tunnel.
As the Design-Builder, Madigan brought Maugel DeStefano Architects onto the project to act as the design lead which included designing an environmentally sustainable new building which will meet rigorous Passive House Institute (US Phius) standards. Passive House standards require rigor in design, construction, testing and operating/ lifecycle sustainability of the building envelope and its operating systems.
The project will create a mix of studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom affordable homes for adults aged 55 and above. All 80 units have been designed with amenities of modern urban living and will have access to common features on the interior and exterior of the buildings, such as an exercise room, a multipurpose room, mail room, a garage and two patios.
Madigan CEO Jim Madigan stated “We are excited to begin this important project in the heart of the city. Over the period of the next 20 months, the view north from Lincoln Square will dramatically transform, as we construct much-needed urban residences in downtown Worcester. We are pleased to be working with the WinnCompanies of Boston, who is the developer of this project.”
WinnCompanies also developed and currently owns and operates an adjacent residential project, the Voke Lofts.
