WESTBOROUGH – The site of the former Sonesta Suites hotel at 25 Connector Road could soon become apartments.
Craig Miller of Waterfield Design Group came before the Select Board on Tuesday, July 23, to present a site plan overview.
The site is 12 acres and currently houses Avia Residences on Research, with seven buildings, plus a pool. Should the town approve the plans, the site would be converted into 109 one- and two-bedroom apartment units.

Miller told the board that due to the size of units, the site would draw “mainly young professionals.”
He added the clubhouse and pool would be renovated, and 31 parking spaces would be added. The plans also call for bicycle storage and 28 chargers for electric vehicles.
The site is currently served by town sewer; Miller said one of the buildings would have a septic tank.
The project, which will require a special permit, will come before the Planning Board.
