Last year, Caritas Norwood Hospital (http://www. caritasnorwood. org/) signed a 12,000-s/f medical and office lease at VinCo Properties Inc.'s Foxboro, Mass.-based Chestnut Green (http://chestnutgreen. com/), a restoration of Greek revival architecture (http://www. chestnutgreenapts. com/gallery/) at the former site of Foxboro State Hospital (http://chestnutgreen. com/). The centerpiece of this mixed-use residential, commercial and recreational development is VinCo Properties and Abrams Properties (http://www. abrams-properties. com/), LLC's joint creation, Chestnut Green Apartments (http://www. chestnutgreenapts. com/), 55 luxury condo-style units whose residents now enjoy convenient access to health care.

"The best part about Chestnut Green Apartments is its proximity to just about anything a resident might need, including even health care," said Matthew Abrams, principal of Abrams Properties. "Caritas Norwood Hospital's offices at the surrounding Chestnut Green property just adds to the development's level of convenience for anyone who works or lives there."
