The vacant General Screw Machine Products on Worcester’s Shrewsbury Street would be renovated and expanded to commercial and residential use under a proposal going before the Planning Board on Wednesday night.
The nearly century-old two-story brick building at 383 Shrewsbury St. would be converted into a commercial or retail use along Shrewsbury Street, with the rear of the building being used as a 20-space parking garage. The second floor and a new third floor addition would include 28 apartments.
The building’s age requires approval from the Historical Commission for any changes to the exterior of the structure. Retail use would also require a special permit because of the site’s manufacturing zoning.
The nearly 24,000-square-foot building on the eastern end of Shrewsbury Street was built in 1922.
The property is owned by CMSS Development, a limited liability company registered to Shawqi Alsarabi, the owner and president of Revoli Construction of Franklin. CMSS Development bought the site in 2016 for $300,000.
