ACCESS & CONNECTIVITY
Residents can walk to Worcester’s Union Station, the city’s intermodal hub, which offers MBTA commuter rail service on the Framingham/Worcester Line to Boston as well as intercity bus options operated by providers such as Greyhound and Peter Pan.
Local mobility is supported by Worcester Regional Transit Authority service operating from the central Hub adjacent to Union Station, providing frequent bus connections across the city and into surrounding communities, while additional commuter oriented service is available via the MART Worcester Commuter Shuttle that also stops at Union Station and the downtown courthouse district.
The property offers quick access to I 290, which runs through the heart of Worcester and links quickly to I 190, I 495, Route 146, and the Massachusetts Turnpike (I 90), facilitating efficient regional travel throughout Central Massachusetts and the Greater Boston area.
AREA AMENITIES & DEMAND DRIVERS
The Property benefits from immediate proximity to major employment anchors such as UMass Memorial Medical Center - University Campus, one of the largest healthcare systems in Central Massachusetts, along with other major employers including The Hanover Insurance Group, Saint-Gobain, and Fallon Health, all of which contribute to a stable and diversified employment base in the city.
Worcester’s role as a regional employment hub is further reinforced by its concentration of higher education institutions, including Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Clark University, and the College of the Holy Cross, which generate consistent housing demand from students, faculty, and medical professionals throughout the year.
The downtown location also places residents near key cultural and entertainment destinations such as DCU Center, a major venue that hosts concerts, sporting events, and conventions, as well as Worcester Center for Crafts, which contributes to the city’s growing arts and cultural scene.
NEARBY EVENT VENUES
12 Winter Street is in walking distance of two of Worcester’s premier event-driven destinations, Polar Park and Fidelity Bank Worcester Ice Center, both of which serve as major regional draws.
Polar Park, home to the Worcester Red Sox, anchors the city’s Canal District and hosts a full calendar of baseball games, concerts, and community events that drive consistent foot traffic and neighborhood activation.
Similarly, the Fidelity Bank Worcester Ice Center operates as a multi-rink facility hosting youth, collegiate, and tournament hockey, along with public skating and large-scale events.

DURABLE BRICK CONSTRUCTION
