The former site of a proposed casino, now an approved residential project in Milford, has been sold for $3.4 million to local businessman and developer Kevin Meehan.
The 117-acre property at the Holliston town line was previously the site of a proposed casino backed by Foxwoods of Connecticut, but Milford voters defeated the proposal in a 2013 town-wide referendum by a near 2-to-1 margin.
Since the defeated casino proposal, the property has been approved for a 268-unit apartment complex with a quarter of those units affordable. The project was named Brookview.
The property was sold by Marlborough entity EM Street LLC to Rte 85 Realty Corp, Meehan’s real estate business registered to the same address as Imperial Cars, Meehan’s Mendon car dealership. He could not be reached for comment.
The residential project was approved by the town’s Zoning Board of Appeals in 2018 after more than two years of deliberation after the project was submitted through MassHousing.
The property was marketed by real estate firm Colliers International and was marketed as being approved for the apartment project, which was previously submitted as a 300-unit project but was reduced to 268.
Steven Zief, president of Eden Management, the Waltham-based developer who had originally proposed the project, told WBJ on Thursday that Meehan had not indicated what he had planned for the property.
“He didn’t make us privy to it,” Zief said.
If the project were to be built, the developer of this site and the developer another mixed-use development proposed on Route 85 were to pay $1.2 million to upgrade the town’s water system to add needed capacity.
