Empire Management Building in Downtown Gardner MA to get STUNNING Improvements
In more fantastic news for Downtown Gardner, the Empire Management Building (sometimes known as the “M” Building because of the big M at the top) will be getting some stunning facade improvements. We show a rendering of what the new front of the building will look like and a rendering of the new side elevation. Empire Office Manager Gabrielle Surette spoke with us about the building at 14 -24 Parker Street, Downtown Gardner, and Empire Management.

Construction will be done in phases with the 3 storefronts being redone, apartments upstairs, and also the basement area which was once a bowling alley. As renovating the entire upstairs area for apartments would displace the existing karate studio, one option being considered is to remodel the basement for use as the new karate studio.
Surette was very upbeat and positive about the direction Downtown Gardner was taking saying, “This is the best it’s looked in a while…it’s just a good feeling that things are going in the right direction.”
They are hoping Phase 1 will begin next month in June 2023.
