129 Parker Street Development Project

 

Background

The 58 acre former Digital Equipment Corporation complex at 129 Parker Street is being developed by Capital Group Properties under the working name “The Shoppes at Maynard Crossing.”

The project includes:

  • a 68,000 square foot supermarket
  • a congregate care retirement community (143 units)
  • residential uses (180 units with 22 dedicated affordable)
  • health club
  • medical offices
  • retail uses and restaurants

The site development is controlled locally by three key instruments:

  1. The Town’s Zoning By-laws. The property zoning designation is “Neighborhood Business Overlay District” (NBOD).
  2. The Memorandum of Agreement between the Town and the developer.
  3. The Concept Plan and Signage Plan approved by Town Meeting on Oct 5, 2016.

All phases of the project development must be consistent with these three documents.

Affordable Housing Waitlist

30-Jan-2019: For inquiries about affordable housing at “The Vue” (the rental multi-family housing at Maynard Crossing aka 129 Parker Street), the developer is now maintaining a database of interested households. These households will be notified when marketing begins and will receive an application and information packet. Ultimately there will be a lottery for the final awarding of the affordable units.

Please direct interested households to email the developer’s housing agent at info@sebhousing.com . In the email they should provide their full name, contact information, and make clear they are interested in the Maynard development.

For additional information, please contact Bill Nemser (Maynard Town Planner) at 978-897-1302 or bnemser@townofmaynard.net.
