Drone up, sun out, crew locked in. 🚁
Here's the latest progress at 111 Hawley Street in Northampton — 8 new townhouses, 3 buildings, all rising fast now that spring has arrived.
Building 1 is sheathed and under roof. Building 2's foundation is in. Building 3 is right behind it. The team has put in serious work through a tough New England winter, and it's a great feeling to watch it all come together against that beautiful downtown Northampton skyline.
Proud of this crew. Proud of this project. Proud to be building right here in our backyard.
More to come — stay tuned. 👷‍♂️🏠

🏠 Mass. Housing Crisis: Could Vacant Church Land Be the Answer?🙏

We just read this spot-on article from MassLive about how faith-based organizations across Massachusetts own over 4,850 vacant parcels — and if even half were developed for housing, we could create **500,000 new homes** and $60 million in annual tax revenue!

The proposed YIGBY bill (“Yes In God’s Backyard”) would make it easier for churches and religious groups to build multifamily housing on their own land, bypassing some local zoning hurdles while requiring 20% affordable units. It’s a win-win for the housing crisis AND the community.

And guess what?
We’re already doing exactly that right here in Easthampton!

Riverview Place – Phase 1 is transforming the former Notre Dame du Bon Conseil Church campus at 35 Pleasant Street into a beautiful new townhouse-style condo development. Our Phase 2 is the Church. The historic church building is being preserved and renovated into 9 residential units, while new construction adds modern 2- and 3-bedroom homes with first-floor masters — all steps from downtown, the park, and the river.

Phase 1 is underway with **10 stunning new units** (4 × 2-BR, 4 × 3-BR, and 2 × 3-BR with first-floor masters), and we couldn’t be more proud to turn sacred ground into much-needed housing while honoring the church’s legacy.

This is what community-forward development looks like. 💚

State building code now requires two staircases in buildings of a certain size. The new rule would drop it to one.
