WinnDevelopment, the real estate development arm of WinnCompanies, last week held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the completed Voke Lofts in Worcester.

The Voke Lofts project is an adaptive reuse and preservation of the existing building at 34 Grove St., formerly known as the Worcester Vocational Technical School.

The 116,306-square-foot residential building is comprised of 84 mixed-income apartments, half of which will be restricted to households with incomes between 30 and 60 percent of the area’s median income, and half of which will be market rate. The unit mix consists of 50 one-bedroom units, 31 two-bedroom units and 3 three-bedroom units.

The lofts include an on-site management office, a community room with a kitchen, a computer learning center and a play area for young children. The apartments have exposed brick and ceiling beams, track lighting and Energy Star appliances.

The lofts will also include an art gallery featuring work by students at the current Worcester Technical High School as well as historic pieces from the school’s past. In addition, Worcester’s Becker College will be offering classes to residents on-site in the "brain gym."

"This is a great day for Winn and the city of Worcester," Gilbert Winn, managing principal of WinnCompanies, said in a statement. "The school is an important part of Worcester’s past and we’re honored to preserve the character of the building in its latest incarnation, which brings much needed, quality housing to the city."
