Winn-Opal Opens 74-Unit Mixed Use in Springfield
WinnCompanies and Opal Real Estate Group opened ThirtyOne Elm in downtown Springfield, MA, with 74 apartments and 13,000 square feet of retail space. The project, led by Michael O’Brien of WinnCompanies, revitalized the vacant 132-year-old Court Square Building, adding affordable housing and retail to the area near MGM Springfield.
The development included the preservation of historic features and the creation of affordable units through the use of funding from the Montgomery County Housing Initiative Fund. The project received support from federal, state, and local leaders and featured significant participation from Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises.
“This long-awaited transformation is a product of perseverance and partnership,” said WinnCompanies executive vice president Michael O’Brien. “A unique group of stakeholders stayed the course through the pandemic, a supply chain crisis and skyrocketing construction costs to make this dream come true. We are proud to expand our presence here, deliver much-needed housing and contribute to Springfield’s vitality.”
