Village at Grafton Woods | Grafton, MA
O’Connell Development Group is transforming a long-vacant institutional site into a thriving mixed-use community in the heart of Grafton, MA. Located at 8 Pine Street, this project reimagines a significant piece of Grafton’s institutional history. Originally part of the Grafton State Hospital campus, the site previously housed outdated and vacant multi-story institutional buildings. These structures have since been demolished and the site fully remediated to modern environmental standards, clearing the way for a forward-looking development that reflects both the needs of the community and the potential of the land.
This brownfield-to-neighborhood transformation not only revitalizes underutilized land but also contributes to the long-term economic and environmental health of the area. The development will consist of apartment rentals and 12,000 square feet of ground floor retail, offering high-quality housing and local services in a walkable, commuter-friendly setting.
Located near Route 30 and minutes from I-495 and the MBTA commuter rail, the Village at Grafton Woods offers residents and retailers alike convenient access to the broader MetroWest region. With a mix of thoughtfully designed housing and curated retail, the project supports smart growth, local economic development, and long-term environmental sustainability.
