The Grid District
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Grid District is a collection of buildings in downtown Worcester, Massachusetts.[1]
When finished, the Grid District will have 510 residential units, 60,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space and parking spaces.[2] The buildings included in the Grid District are the Park Plaza apartments at 507 Main Street; Bancroft Commons apartments at 50 Franklin Street; 56 Franklin Street, which is home to Brew on The Grid; the Paris Cinema building, 66 Franklin Street; 72 Franklin Street, which is leased by Becker College for student housing; and the Houghton Building at 82 Franklin Street.[2]
The Paris Cinema building has been under threat of taking by eminent domain by the city, but is now scheduled to be demolished in 2016 and replaced with pop-up retail space in the short term.[3]
