Six Nonprofits Successfully Relocate to Former Unum Building in Worcester

In one of the most intriguing and complicated deals the city has had to navigate, the site of the historic Denholm building will see new life. What has been lost in the story is how six nonprofits have now successfully relocated to the former Unum building on Chestnut St. Creating a nonprofit center for the city. Before that successful move could happen and the proposals could start coming in on the Denholm building, negotiations with the occupants, including six large and vital nonprofits, had to be completed. The spaces, law offices, nonprofits, etc. were owned as condos by the occupants. Over time the upkeep of the building had just become too great. On this edition of The Podcast of the WBDC, CEO Craig Blais, Worcester’s Chief Development Officer Peter Dunn and Katie Krock, developer of 18 Chestnut St., tell the entire story of how this remarkable move was pulled off.
