2038 Lunenburg Road in Lancaster
Construction is expected to start early next spring on a development in Lancaster slated to include 23 homes and an office building right off Route 2.
The 25-acre site, a wooded stretch of land just north of Route 2 at 2038 Lunenburg Road, was approved in June by the Lancaster Planning Board for 23 single-family homes and a 17,000-square-foot office building. Homes are expected to be priced at roughly $525,000 to $565,000, except for two that will be set aside under affordability restrictions.
Leominster home building company Harbor Classic Homes bought the site for $1.5 million in a deal closed Nov. 20. The seller, according to the Worcester Registry of Deeds, was a limited liability corporation registered to a business address in Yonkers, N.Y.
Harbor Classic Homes, which is calling the development Laurel Hills, is hoping to begin site work in late March or early April, depending on weather, President Ronald Koivu said. MP Crowley, a Leominster contractor, is slated to perform the site work.
The office building construction would begin around June, with Harbor Classic Homes itself taking up about 3,000 square feet, including for a showroom. The rest of the office building would be built without a tenant lined up, with the builder anticipating high demand with the easy highway access and a shift, due in part to the coronavirus pandemic, to fewer people commuting into Boston and adjacent communities for work.
A rare undeveloped site immediately off the highway was attractive to Harbor Classic Homes.
"We're excited about Lancaster," Vice President Laural Adams said.
Harbor Classic Homes has built the Amelia Way subdivision in Groton, and homes in Ashburnham, Fitchburg, Leominster, Lunenburg and other communities in northern Worcester County.
