Expansion at Patriot Place

The Kraft Group has secured approval for an expansion at Patriot Place that would add a 122-room hotel, quick-service restaurant and CVS to the Foxboro shopping center next to Gillette Stadium. There's no word on a construction timeline or cost of the project endorsed by the Foxboro Planning Board last week.

The development will replace 600 parking spaces between the North and South Markets of Patriot Place, which opened in 2007 and features 1.3 million-plus square feet of stores, restaurants and entertainment venues.
