Waldo-Durgin Development

The Waldo-Durgin Mixed-Use Project is a large mixed-use development to include a hotel, a residential building, and a parking garage along with commercial uses along the street-front. The development is being proposed pursuant to an overlay zoning district that was established at Coolidge Corner at the 2019 Annual Town Meeting. More information on the process leading up to the creation of this overlay zoning district can be found at the webpage for the Coolidge Corner Study Committee.

This project is a Major Impact Project due to its size.
