13 West Central Street - Natick, MA

Natick, MA Renovation of the former American Legion building at 13 West Central St. began in mid-August, with Stonegate Group reuniting with PointsNorth Construction Management and Lim Design Studio on the project. “Stonegate is pleased to once again work with PointsNorth and Lim Design on this exciting renovation project. The quality craftsmanship and superior design of our most recent 2013 collaboration [Piccadilly Place in Downtown Westborough] proves that this team works cohesively with us to create an outstanding product,” said Dean Calivas, chief operating officer at Stonegate Group. Stonegate West Central LLC will be investing over $7.5 million in the project.

The project will entail approximately 17,000 s/f, excluding the underground parking garage which will include parking for 16-18 automobiles and trash/storage space.

The building will become 10 two-bedroom and 1 one bedroom residential units and the ground floor will become retail/restaurant space.

Over the next several weeks, with guidance from structural engineering experts from Boston Building Consultants and geotechnical engineers from Geosciences Testing and Research,  contractors will work to protect the historical integrity of the building by shoring and stabilizing the exterior brick walls in preparation for the interior demolition this fall.  While this extra step will add additional time and expense to the project, Calivas explained that “Stonegate understands the importance of preserving this historic Downtown Natick landmark.”

The project is scheduled to be completed in late spring of 2017.
