489 Worcester consists of 32 market rate units and 8 affordable units with 2 existing single family homes on approximately 3.74 acres of land on Route 9 and Cliff Road. The site was highlighted as an ideal location in the Unified Housing Plan due to its short three-minute walk to the Wellesley Hills train station, town trails, and proximity to shops. The project aims to provide more diversity in housing options, including a central location in Wellesley along Route 16 and Route 9.
