Natick, MA – Nauset Construction announced that work is well underway on the Stonegate St. Patrick Redevelopment project in Natick.
Located at 45 E. Central St., the 89,500sf development will provide a mix of 46 apartment units ranging from one to three bedrooms, and four duplex homes containing three to four bedroom units, with 14 apartments designated as affordable. The 4-story main structure will feature 14,000sf of ground-floor restaurant and retail space with apartments above. The four additional two-family townhomes are being constructed at the rear portion of the property (Lincoln & Wilson Streets). There will also be a mix of surface and underground parking for residents.

The project is located at the site of the former St. Patrick’s School, which was demolished in April 2023. Stonegate St. Patrick is being developed by the Natick-based Stonegate Group, and was designed by Finegold Alexander Architects. Ground was broken on the project in June 2023 and construction is anticipated to be completed in spring of 2025.
Construction is in full swing on all four townhouse duplex structures and the 46 unit, main building along the Route 135 frontage. All buildings are framed out and substantially weathertight with roofs completed, windows installed, and exterior insulation and siding underway on the townhouses with plans to start brick facades on the main building in November.
Rough mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems (MEPs) are substantially completed in three of the four townhouse duplexes in preparation for blower door testing, insulation, and gypsum wall board (GWB) to follow behind. MEP rough-ins are in progress in the fourth townhouse and in the main building. Site concrete retaining walls and site utilities are progressing around the project in anticipation of binder pavement being laid down by early November.
