The Residences on Lincoln Square brings new life to Worcester's historic Boys Club, combining preservation of a 94-year-old landmark with new construction to create 80 affordable apartment homes for adults aged 55 and above. Developed by WinnDevelopment, the project pairs historic character with modern living, expanding affordable senior housing options in the community. Maugel DeStefano Architects collaborated with F.W. Madigan Company, design-build manager, on the adaptive re-use of the original building and the design of the new residential addition.
The completed project preserves and renovates the historic bulding into 16 apartments and a variety of community spaces, alongside a new five-story apartment building with 64 additional apartments. The two buildings are connected at the ground floor by a single-story glass walkway.
Of the 80 total apartments associated with this development, 12 units are reserved for residents earning 30% or less of the area median income, while the remaining 62 are designated for those earning up to 60% of the area median income. Eleven apartments are fully accessible for persons with physical disabilities.
