The Belclare Wellesley will feature 30 condominium units starting at $1.4 million, as well as various shops and a restaurant.
By Jaclyn Reiss, Town Correspondent
Construction crews broke ground today on the $35 million Belclare mixed-use development, which will feature 30 luxury condominiums and 9,500 square feet of commercial space.
The development will be built on the Wellesley Inn site on Washington Street in Wellesley Square, which has been a vacant lot for years.
The market-rate Belclare condominiums are set to sell for between $1.4 million to over $3 million, and will feature two and three bedrooms ranging from 1,500 to 3,000 square feet, according to a statement sent on behalf of developers from The Noannet Group. There will also be five affordable units on-site, developers said.
The commercial space will include shops and a restaurant, though developers did not specify further details. Representatives did not say when they expect the development to be completed.
The construction comes after a embattled history for the site of Wellesley Inn, whose development dates back to the late 1800s. The historic building was sold to a developer in 2005 who demolished the building in preparation for a new project. However, the plans were put on hold, leaving a vacant lot in the center of town.
Developers from Noannet bought the land in 2012 and received the town permits necessary to build the new complex this year.

Belclare Wellesley to feature retail space, 30 condos starting at $1.4m
Three mostly vacant buildings at the corner of Canal and Camp streets will be combined into one luxury apartment building with retail shops in a $15 million project.
The Times-Picayune reports the project by the firm Woodward Design+Build brings together 600 Canal St., 604 Canal and 113-117 Camp St. into one development.
The buildings are clustered near the Central Business District and the French Quarter.
The development will have 44 apartments and 8,000 square feet of retail space.
Construction of the project - branded as the Giani Building - is expected to be completed by the beginning of 2015.
The announcement marks the latest in a wave of downtown apartment projects to meet growing demand as the Central Business District's evolution into a more residential neighborhood continues.
The owner of the property is listed as Canal@Camp Apartments LLC. A spokesman for the owners declined to give more details.
The registered manager of Canal@Camp Apartments is Chandru Motwani, according to Louisiana secretary of state records. Motwani could not be reached for comment.
"When The Giani Building opens in January 2015, it will add luxury housing supply to the foot of Canal Street," Darren Pellegrin of Woodward Interests, the owners' representative, said. "It's all part of the movement to make downtown New Orleans a 24-7 neighborhood."
The seven-story building at 600 Canal St., which dates to 1889, was designed by New Orleans architects Thomas Sully and Theodore Toledano. It was one of the first high-rises on the major thoroughfare, developers said.

A venue for one of Sir Peter Jacksons early films is in line for a New Zealand commercial project award.
The University of Canterburys Ilam Homestead, where much of Sir Peters 1994 movie Heavenly Creatures starring Kate Winslet was filmed, is entered into the awards which will be announced in May.
Many scenes for the film were shot in the homestead and its grounds. The listed heritage building was built around 1911-1918 as a replacement for the original 1860 building which was destroyed by fire.
Following its substantial damage in the earthquakes, the building has been sympathetically restored and strengthened. UC elected to strengthen Ilam Homestead to 100 percent of new building standard. It is now one of the few heritage buildings of its era in Christchurch strengthened to this level.
While the University contributed to upgrades to some utilities and services, over 90 percent of the cost of re-instating the heritage building was covered under the universitys comprehensive material damage insurance policy.
The homestead is built in an English Domestic Revival style. The architectural heritage of the house rests largely on the existing staircase, internal timber panelling and fire places.
Notable architectural features include the grand porte cochere entrance, red English bond brickwork cavity walls with tuck pointing at the ground floor, roughcast plaster to the first floor, the timber balcony and veranda to the northwest, and slate roofing.
The immaculate post-quake restoration, with wood panelling and period wallpaper, includes one of the few open fireplaces still permitted in Christchurch.
The New Zealand Commercial Project Awards have been established by a group of commercial contractors.

HYDETOWN Fire damaged the second floor of a Main Street home undergoing restoration on Saturday night, but there were no injuries, according to Chief Eric Nikolaison of Hydetown Volunteer Fire Department.
No one was in the two-story home, owned by the Beck family, when the fire was spotted someone driving by shortly after 8 p.m., Nikolaison said. A dog inside the home at the time was able to be saved by firemen, the chief said.
Hydetown, Chapmanville and Cherry Tree volunteer fire departments, along with Titusville Fire Department, were called to the fire next to the Oaks Tavern off Route 8 at 8:13 p.m.
Nikolaison said the cause of the fire was linked to a faulty chimney of a wood-burning stove.
The fire got into the wall and into the second floor, he said. The home has been undergoing remodeling.
There apparently was no insurance on the home, Nikolaison said.
Firemen returned to quarters after 10 p.m.

CPSV will consist of a four-story 56-unit apartment building. There will be a mix of one- and two-bedroom apartments, all of which will be fully accessible and will include sight and sound equipment. The building is designed to meet the 5 Star Plus energy rating and will have the largest alternative energy system in a residential building in Alaska, comprised of an array of solar thermal systems, providing more than 50 percent of the energy needed for domestic hot water. There will be a mix of underground parking and surface parking.
The design and plan of CPSV takes into consideration the Eagle River Central Business Revitalization Plan and the Chugiak-Eagle River Comprehensive Plan Update. The development locates new housing within walking distance of downtown Eagle River businesses and services.
CPSV will accommodate residents with a mix of incomes, from market-rate units to units for residents with incomes equal to 60 percent of Area Median Income (AMI), as set by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
