7 Bellevue Street

(formerly 7-11 Bellevue Street) This 9 unit mixed-use development was the home of Worcester Common Ground until 2010. The building was acquired in the summer of 1994 with loans from the City of Worcester’s Office of Planning and Community Development and a capital grant from Stoddard Capital Trust. Original renovations were completed in November 1994. WCG shared space with other community-based non-profits for a number of years, in order to maximize collective resources. Families and individuals occupied five additional apartments above the offices. In 2010, WCG was able to include 7-11 Bellevue as part of its Austin Corridor II project; substantial and needed upgrades to the buildings included redesign of the footprint and inclusion of two fully accessible units incorporating Universal Design principals. Now called 7 Bellevue, the property boasts 9 rehabilitated affordable units; the building is managed by Maloney Properties and rental inquiries can be directed to (508) 752-0833.
