Phase 1 of the new City Square Project, intended to help Downtown Worcester evolve, as well as reconnect to other major roads and hubs, has been completed early January.
First and foremost is the new Unum Building, which is now completed, and moved into. We also get a look at two brand new streets, Mercantile, which runs down most of what was the length of the Galleria's main mall, and a reborn section of Front Street, which once again, reconnects downtown, to Union Station, and the future WRTA facility (not part of the project). We walk down the length of the "new" Front Street, and look at buildings along the way, including a small part of the main mall structure, and the existing fragments to be saved for future tenants.
They also reopened the former Blue/Red Garage, now the East Garage, but get a nasty surprise, because what City Square, new or old (old, definitely) said, didn't happen: the garage is supposed to be part private AND public, but the whole thing is private, for Unum employees ONLY. Is the "Blue" Elevator still there? What's the new one in the new garage lobby? No clue, and may never find out.
Backtracking, Saint Vincent's new Cancer Center is still coming along, so the rumor of them pulling out of this project looks to be false, but we'll know, when that building is completed.
