Courthouse Lofts has officially completed in Worcester, Mass. The project is the certified historic rehabilitation and adaptive re-use of the approximately 214,000-sf Old Worcester County Courthouse, originally built in 1845. Located at 2 Main Street, the redevelopment of the courthouse is part of a larger revitalization of Worcester’s Historic Lincoln Square district.
Courthouse Lofts includes 118 studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom units. Amenities include on-site maintenance and management, a media and game room, a club room for remote work and study, a fitness center, a landscaped courtyard, a pet spa, a children’s playroom and outdoor playground, and an on-site maker space.
Apartment units all feature dishwashers, washers and dryers, electric ranges with range hoods and microwaves, quartz countertops, tile baths, custom light fixtures, abundant natural light from oversized windows, stainless steel appliances, and high-efficiency HVAC. Each unit also has unique, historic details and features.
The Architectural Team designed the project with Trinity Financial as the developer.
