Gateway Park

Gateway ParkGateway Park, originally a joint venture of Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) and the Worcester Business Development Corporation, involves the redevelopment of a former 12-acre brownfield site.  Once completed, the mixed-use development will contain close to one million square feet of bio-medical and bio-engineering space, retail establishments, housing and restaurants.  Gateway Park is part of the larger Downtown Worcester Growth District.    

The construction of WPI’s new, state of the art 124,000 square foot Life Sciences and Bioengineering Center, which houses modern laboratories and support facilities, as well as a 683 space parking facility has been completed.  A nearly 100,000 square foot commercial/laboratory building is now under construction by O’Connell Development Group of Holyoke.  Two additional development parcels are pad ready and can support buildings of  up to 160,000 square feet.  An additional 1.7 acre parcel is also available for housing development as part of the master plan for the area.
