The Putnam Block

Greenfield, MA | 2023 - 2027

JWA is working with The Community Builders, a non-profit housing developer, on the conversion of the Wilson’s Department store building into a housing and retail complex in downtown Greenfield. JWA led the historic tax credit effort for the Greenfield Business District Upper Stories many years ago and had long hoped to see the tax credits put to good use. The proposed project totals 138,460 gsf and aims to create 60 units of affordable housing and redevelop the Main Street retail spaces at the first floor into the new home of Franklin Community Co-op.

Jones Whitsett Architect leads a team that includes Hesnor Engineering, SGH Engineering and ART Engineering. The project has recently entered construction and will occur over several phases beginning with the site enabling work, demolition and development of the housing units in the upper floors of the existing building.

Area: 138,460
