Stonegate and Nauset Break Ground for Natick Mixed-Use Development




“Natick, MA –Stonegate Group and Nauset Construction recently broke ground on the long-awaited Stonegate St. Patrick Redevelopment, a mixed-use project at the site of the former St. Patrick’s School that will deliver 46 apartments with 14,000 square feet of ground-floor restaurant and retail space with four additional two-family townhomes.
Located at 45 E. Central St., within walking distance of the Natick Center Cultural District, the project is being developed by the Natick-based Stonegate Group. The Zoning Board of Appeals unanimously approved the project last year after being stalled by the pandemic.”
