NATICK, MA – The developer, an assignment at the former St. Patrick’s School in downtown Natick, will move to the safety of the vacant construction after a recent robbery and fire, but plans to begin demolition soon.
Last Thursday, firefighters responded to 45 East Central Street after a small chimney exploded in the former Wilson Street convent. Police and firefighters discovered damaged windows, rubbish and graffiti. The alarm of two chimneys was temporarily extinguished, but a Natick wrestler was injured in the incident.
“Stonegate Group has been outraged and disturbed by the senseless destruction of any of the buildings, and we intend to file a complaint against the culprits,” the developer said on a social network.
Stonegate plans to demolish the old school to build housing. The original plan included an on-site advertising area, but was removed from the assignment due to the postponement of the spring municipal meeting, where a mixed-use zoning vote would take place.
The developer applied for a demolition permit on August 4th and expects the paintings to begin in the coming weeks.
Stonegate was the 2017 remodeling of thirteen West Central St.
