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
