The light towers of Polar Park may soon have company in highlighting the skyline of Worcester’s Canal District.
The Gold Block Real Estate LLC has applied for approval from the Worcester Planning Board to construct a 13-story building that will house more than 300 market-rate units, nearly 30,000 square feet of retail and food service space as well as a 152-space parking garage.
A 13-story tower, the tallest such structure built in Worcester in more than three decades, is proposed to replace the former Cove Music Hall, a celebrated old music venue on Green Street.
The plan, if approved, would dramatically usher in a new era of development in the Canal District, with more than 300 residential units, nearly 30,000 square feet of food and retail space, and a parking garage with roughly 150 parking spaces. The Worcester Planning Board is scheduled to hold a public hearing on the plan May 5.
The development would replace four buildings including the Cove, whose site sold in January for $900,000. Others planned to be demolished to make way for the new project include the site of the Thai Binh Jewelry Store and DT Realty next door to the music venue. The addresses are 85, 89, 99 and 103 Green St., as well as 12 Plymouth St., 5 and 7 Gold St. and part of 62 Washington St., all in the same block between Green Street and the Polar Park baseball stadium.
In a press conference with city officials Thursday afternoon, development firm Boston Capital announced plans for a retail and housing development at the site of departing manufacturer Table Talk Pies next to the $132-million Polar Park public baseball stadium in Worcester s Canal District.
At the same event, Worcester developer Churchill James detailed plans for its previously announced bowling alley and residential building about two blocks away on Green Street.
The two projects combined investments are estimated to be nearly $100 million, according to the city. Without the investment of the ballpark, we probably would not have the level of investment discussed Thursday, City Manager Edward Augustus said at the press conference.
