Massachusetts Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities Celebrates Major Office-to-Residential Conversion in Worcester
The Massachusetts Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities (HLC) recently celebrated the official opening of Altitude Worcester, a significant office-to-residential conversion project in Worcester, Massachusetts. This project, undertaken by Synergy, transformed the former 11-story Fallon Health headquarters into 198 apartments, comprising 74 studios, 84 one-bedroom units, and 40 two-bedroom units. Residents began moving into Altitude Worcester on August 15. Additionally, Synergy, in partnership with The Planning Office for Urban Affairs, converted the adjacent four-story Two Chestnut Place into 22 affordable for-sale condominiums, with income restrictions set at no more than 80% of the Area Median Income. The first residents for these affordable homes moved in earlier in October, marking the creation of affordable homeownership opportunities in downtown Worcester for the first time in over 30 years.
