The redevelopment of the former Worcester Boys Club site, now known as the Residences on Lincoln Square, transforms a long-vacant historic structure into a mixed-building senior housing development in downtown Worcester, Massachusetts. The original Boys Club building, constructed between 1928 and 1930, had been largely vacant since 2006 and sat in deteriorating condition after periods of limited reuse, including as a technical high school. With no active use by the City or Commonwealth, Worcester sought a development partner to reactivate the site and return it to productive community use.
