255 apartments units proposed for former Worcester supermarket site

WORCESTER – After two decades of speculation over the future of a large Mill Street lot across from Coes Reservoir, the owner has come forward with plans to build a housing complex with 255 units across seven buildings. The lot at 195 Mill St. was once home to the Big D chain and Price Chopper. The property has remained vacant for two decades after the grocery stores left, with the 32,000-square-foot building they left behind deteriorating into an eyesore and a significant topic of conversation during past election years. The building was torn down in October 2023 by the owner Worcester Mill LLC, a holding company that is part of Plaza Properties, which redeveloped the Lincoln Plaza shopping center. The company is headed by Sam Adams, whose family formerly owned the Big D supermarket chain. Blueprints Worcester Mill LLC submitted with the Zoning Board of Appeals show three five-story buildings and four four-story buildings. The 255 units will include studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments. The plans also include 389 total parking spaces, including 85 compact spaces, 39 electrical vehicle spaces, 39 electrical vehicle-ready spaces and 16 accessible spaces. The owners will appear in front of the Zoning Board of Appeals

In Wellesley, Massachusetts, it is basically illegal to build a starter home, and it looks like it will stay that way.

Dover waterfront home sells for $4.1M, tops Strafford County sales

The median price for single-family homes sold in Strafford County in October was $530,000, an increase from $519,999 in September. Adam Dean, principal broker/partner of Duston Leddy Real Estate , in a market analysis for October, said the market is slowing down. However, Dean said, well-priced homes in good shape can receive multiple offers, citing one property recently receiving seven offers. "That's still happening to properties of good value," said Dean. He said it will be interesting to see what happens in November following the midterm election. He noted the stock market "exploded" on Wednesday, Nov. 4, the day after the election. However, the market sustained large losses on Nov. 5. There were 24 Strafford County homes total sold in October in the $500,000-549,999 and $600,000-649,999 price ranges, according to a report provided by Dean. Dean also said it looks the market is getting a "slight bump" in the volume of listings. 3 HIGHEST-PRICED HOME SALES OF OCTOBER 74 Saddle Trail Drive, Dover: $4.1 million The most expensive home sold in the county in October was an "exceptional waterfront estate" at 74 Saddle Trail Drive for $4.1 million.

Little Bay is not spare commercial space: Russ McCann Jr.

Little Bay is not empty just because no one has built something on it. A quiet cove, an unobstructed shoreline and water a family can paddle across already serve a public purpose. They do not need floating cages to become valuable. That should be the starting point for decisions about expanding floating oyster farms in the Great Bay estuary. Instead, the public is too often asked to defend open water against an argument built around production, growth and restoration. Our answer is simple: the public’s use of the bay deserves its own place in the decision. New Hampshire should halt further floating expansion until it identifies suitable locations, protects established recreational areas and sets firm limits on acreage and equipment. Popular coves, public launch approaches and essential shoreline routes should be kept clear of floating farms. Oysters can provide environmental benefits. Growers can contribute to restoration. Neither point answers the question residents are asking: Why should this equipment occupy this particular stretch of water? A kayaker cannot paddle through a promise of economic benefit. A rower cannot use a route obstructed by equipment simply because the oysters beneath it filter water. An open navigation channel does not replace every shallow-water

Land, costs and housing: A clear-eyed look at development in New Hampshire

New Hampshire faces a housing shortage of 60,000-90,000 units by the early 2030s. Existing-home inventory often sits near two months of supply — roughly 60-70% below the five-to-six-month level considered balanced. At the same time, the cost to build has become a major barrier. Land, materials, labor, site work, permitting, and infrastructure have all risen, turning projects that worked a decade ago into difficult math today.
