It’s certainly utilitarian but I give extra credit for the rooftop & restaurant. That area could use a supermarket and a public gym as well.

Curtis Apartments, a 372-unit complex located on Great Brook Valley Avenue in Worcester, will undergo a $178-million redevelopment and add 100 additional units, the Worcester Housing Authority announced on Saturday.

The development project will be managed by Trinity Financial, an urban real estate developer based in Boston which developed the Courthouse Lofts in Worcester,.

Located along Great Brook Valley Avenue, the Curtis Apartments were built in 1951. Trinity will redevelop at least 193 of the existing apartments and construct 100 new ones.

The complex offers one-, two-, and three-bedroom conventional and accessible family housing, as well as on-site child daycare, youth recreational programming, and a Worcester Public Library branch site, according to the WHA website.

“We are thrilled to have an opportunity to redevelopment (sic) Curtis Apartments. It is long overdue,” said Alex Corrales, CEO of the WHA, in the press release. “This is not just an opportunity to provide our current residents better housing, but also allows us to create new apartments in our efforts to address the affordable housing needs of the city.”

These are two smaller adjacent developments on Chandler Street, not sure that they warrant their own thread.
A combined 78 residential units are built in an existing industrial building with a new addition, and next door in an old stamp factory. 31 units will be slated affordable, I believe the remaining 47 lofts in the stamp factory are mostly market rate. They did a nice job restoring the exterior of the existing buildings.
