The former site of Saint Peter-Marian Central Catholic Junior-Senior High School in Worcester is back on the market, with a suggested sale price of $6.5 million.
The site of the former private Catholic school was the location of a planned senior home development by Goddard/Homestead Inc. of Worcester. The 23.8-acre campus at 781 Grove St. was purchased by Goddard/Homestead from the Diocese of Worcester for $4.75 million in December 2021.
Goodard/Homestead had planned on constructing a 158-unit senior housing complex at the site, with a planned opening in late 2024.
The site has active approved permits for that project, according to a May 2 press release from NAI Glickman Kovago and Jacobs, the Worcester-based real estate firm handling the listing of the property.
Goddard/Homestead CEO Joan Cusson did not immediately respond to a voicemail requesting more details about the listing of the property for sale. Goodard/Homestead operates Goddard House and Homestead Hall, two senior living facilities in Worcester.
Both facilities were part of a $5-million sale-and-lease-back agreement with Hampton Properties of Worcester in February 2024. Goddard executed that agreement to help fund upgrades to its existing properties and the planned demolition of the Saint Peter-Marian site, according to a February 2024 press release from the nonprofit.
That demolition work did not end up occurring; athletic facilities and three buildings at the site are still standing.
Saint Peter-Marian closed for good in 2020, according to the Worcester Telegram & Gazette, merging with Holy Name Central Catholic Junior Senior High School to form Saint Paul Diocesan Junior-Senior High School. The new school is based out of the former Holy Name campus at 144 Granite St.
Sitting in a RS-7 zoning district, the former Saint Peter-Marian site is suitable for a continuing care retirement community or single-family residential development, according to NAI Glickman.
