The Kiln, a 111-unit apartment complex by developer GoVenture Capital Group in Worcester’s Greendale neighborhood, has completed construction, according to architecture firm Maugel DeStefano Architects, Inc. who designed the project. The firm is already looking to its next local project with the Worcester developer.
The Kiln at 222 Brooks St. features market-rate studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments starting at a rental price of $1,600 a month, according to a June press release from GoVenture.
“Sited in an area with a mix of commercial businesses and single-family homes, the design team used modern industrial forms and materials and a residential scale to blend the development into the surrounding context,” Maugel DeStefano wrote in a Monday press release from the architects.
In addition to GoVenture Capital Group and Maugel DeStefano Architects, project team members included engineers Hannigan Engineering, Inc. of Leominster and New-Hampshire-based TFMoran, Inc.
“The art of balancing aesthetics and construction costs began in the earliest phases of design, when geometric simplicity and compositions of attractive, durable materials define marketability and control costs,” Jeremy Baldwin, multifamily studio lead at Maugel DeStefano Architects, said in the press release.
Maugel DeStefano has partnered again with Worcester-based GoVenture and New Jersey-based The Michaels Organization to design a 364-unit apartment building at 274 Franklin St. in Worcester. The project will replace a group of blighted warehouse buildings at the base of Worcester’s Grafton Hill neighborhood.
