MARLBOROUGH – The building at 189 Boston Post Road East that once housed the Wildwood restaurant may not be standing for much longer.
On Sept. 18, a site plan was submitted to the city by David M. Robinson, an engineer for the site’s owner, Delca Real Estate Holding LLC. The plan calls for the teardown of the existing restaurant building; the demolition of the existing parking lot and site features; and the construction of a new 26,400-square-foot building, driveway, parking lot with 143 total spaces; building utilities; grading; drainage and landscaping.
The new building will house Pao Brasil Restaurant and Bakery.

According to the site plan approval application, the project will require a Massachusetts Department of Transportation permit to install new water and gas lines, which is under review with the city. Also, the sewer will tie to existing municipal sewer systems, and an exterior grease trap will be required to handle kitchen flows.
The site plan submission is currently under review, said Tin Htway, the city’s building commissioner.
The Wildwood closed in the spring of 2023 after nearly a century in business.
The Community Advocate has reached out to the new owner for comment.
