TFMoran is providing civil and structural engineering services for Maugel Destefano Architect’s and SMC Management Corporation’s latest project, The Poet Hill Residences, in Worcester, MA. Thursday, March 27, 2025, marked a major milestone of this project with a topping-off ceremony. This event celebrates the completion of the structural framework of the building under construction. 

This project is a 210-unit, market-rate housing development located in the Poet Hill neighborhood of Worcester, MA. Situated on a 5-acre parcel along Hemans Street, the project features five stories of modern residential units above a double-podium parking garage, offering a mix of contemporary design and functionality.

The development takes full advantage of the site’s natural slope, with a residential courtyard positioned atop the parking deck, level with Hemans Street. This space will include community amenities such as gathering areas, grilling stations, and a Bocce court, creating a vibrant, resident-focused environment.

Despite the challenges posed by a harsh winter in a location atop a hill in one of the most climate-intensive cities in Massachusetts, the project has stayed ahead of schedule. Working alongside Maugel Destefano Architects and SMC Management has ensured smooth progress. Interior work has continued without delay, keeping the development on track and moving closer to completion!
