About Sever Square Apartments
6, 8, 10, 11, and 12 Sever Street, Worcester, MA
132 unit mixed-income community in downtown Worcester. Units range in size from on through four bedrooms, with many units recently renovated. At least 54 of the units will be affordable to residents earning at or below 60 percent of the area median income (AMI). Amenities on-site include a business center, community room, and courtyard.

The new building has been dubbed Merrick at the Square. The proposed project will include 7 studios, ten 1-bedroom units, twenty-six 2-bedroom units, and six 3-bedroom units. All of the units will be affordable to households at or below 60% of AMI, including five units at or below 50% AMI and eleven units reserved for households at or below 30% of AMI. There will be five fully accessible units and 33 off-street parking spaces. The proposed building has been designed to LEED Silver and Enterprise Green Communities standards. The property will also include laundry/vending space, a management office and a lobby/lounge area.
