Kelleher & Sadowsky Associates, Inc. brokers 25,000 s/f lease to Seven Hills Foundation
Worcester, MA Kelleher & Sadowsky Associates, Inc. completed the signing of a multi-year lease at 135 Gold Star Blvd. by Seven Hills Foundation (Seven Hills). Kelleher & Sadowsky’s John McKinley and Paul Matt represented the lessee, Seven Hills. William Kelleher IV and Brian Johnson represented K & L Realty, the lessor.
The 25,000 s/f second floor space suite of offices will enable Seven Hills to integrate three of its behavioral counseling clinics and many of their programs under one roof, including Family Services of Central Massachusetts, You, Inc. and Children’s Friend.
Seven Hills VP/CEO Dr. Kathleen Jordan said, “The new location will help us expand and better serve and support the hundreds of children, families and individuals in Central Massachusetts who depend on us, especially at this critical time of increasing mental health needs.”
The office space is specially designed to meet the unique needs of these agencies, with construction well underway and expected to be complete by March 2021.
The 57,000 s/f landmark building at 135 Gold Star Blvd. was originally built for Sawyer Lumber in the 1950’s. It became the home of Reliant Medical in the late 1980s. Worcester-based K & L Realty bought the property in 2019 following Reliant’s departure, and committed to a total renovation. The exterior was modernized by the addition of windows and composite cladding. The interior was completely demolished and redesigned. New HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems were engineered for the building.
“We are very excited about transforming this unique building and bringing it into the 21st century. It’s an honor to have as our first tenant the region’s premier human services organization,” said K & L principal George Tonna.
