Springfield project among 5 awarded state tax credits to create 856 new homes.

Springfield project among 5 awarded state tax credits to create 856 new homes. Posted: Aug 26, 2026 / 10:55 PM EDT Updated: Aug 27, 2026 / 06:44 AM EDT SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) - A downtown Springfield redevelopment project is among five developments receiving a share of $15.3 million in state tax credits aimed at converting vacant or underused commercial properties into new housing. The Healey-Driscoll administration announced the Commercial Conversion Tax Credit Initiative awards Tuesday, saying the five projects will create a combined 856 new rental homes in Boston, Dedham, Springfield, Westford and Worcester. The Springfield project, known as the Main Street Redevelopment, will receive $3 million in tax credits. McCaffery Interests Inc. plans to adaptively reuse four historic buildings in downtown Springfield to create 99 rental homes, including 79 market-rate units. The development also will include ground-floor retail space and is part of the Springfield Redevelopment Authority's effort to create a more active, walkable neighborhood near MGM Springfield and the MassMutual Center, according to the state. "Massachusetts has buildings sitting empty and communities that need more homes. These awards will put underused properties back to work, create 856 new apartments and help bring more residents, customers and energy to downtowns and commercial districts across the state," said Gov. Maura Healey. "By making smart use of the spaces we already have, we can build more housing, strengthen local economies and lower costs." The $15.3 million in awards will support projects ranging from the redevelopment of a former hotel in Westford to the conversion of a historic office building in Boston's Financial District. "Commercial conversions can solve two challenges at once: They create homes where people want to live and help communities breathe new life into properties that have been vacant or obsolete," said Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll. "As a former mayor, I know how important it is to have active buildings and more residents supporting small businesses in our downtowns. These projects will help communities turn long-standing opportunities into lasting growth." The projects receiving funding are: * Historic Clark Block Rehabilitation, Worcester: The Menkiti Group will receive $2,330,406 to convert the historic former Shack's Clothes building into 48 rental homes, including 43 market-rate homes. The project also will include three ground-level commercial condominiums. * 219 Littleton Road, Westford: Redgate will receive $3 million to replace an obsolete hotel with 300 rental homes, including 270 market-rate homes. The project is within Westford's MBTA Communities Multi-Family Overlay District and will preserve a historic barn that could be used for amenities or retail. * Main Street Redevelopment, Springfield: McCaffery Interests Inc. will receive $3 million to create 99 rental homes, including 79 market-rate units, through the adaptive reuse of four historic downtown buildings. * Vantage Apartments, Dedham: Nordblom Development Company Inc. will receive $3 million to replace two obsolete commercial buildings with 154 rental homes, including 131 market-rate homes. The project will be within walking distance of the Dedham Corporate Center MBTA Commuter Rail station. * 294 Washington, Boston: Synergy will receive $4 million to convert a historic office building in Boston's Financial District into 255 rental homes, including 204 market-rate homes, along with about 12,000 square feet of retail space. The state said the five projects will collectively produce 856 new rental homes, with a significant portion of the units designated as market-rate housing. "The reality is that many commercial conversion projects are difficult to finance even when the sites are in prime locations, have community support and ready to move forward," said Housing and Livable Communities Secretary Juana Matias. "The Commercial Conversion Tax Credit Initiative helps close that gap. This second round of awards will not only unlock another 856 homes, but will preserve historic buildings, support transit-oriented development and help revitalize downtowns across Massachusetts." The Commercial Conversion Tax Credit Initiative was established through the Affordable Homes Act, which Healey signed in 2024. The program provides support for eligible construction and substantial rehabilitation costs for projects that primarily involve residential or mixed-use development. The latest awards mark the second round of funding through the program. Earlier this year, the administration announced nearly $8.4 million for five projects expected to create 339 homes in Boston, Fitchburg, New Bedford, Pittsfield and Worcester. Combined, the first two rounds will support 10 projects and 1,195 new homes across Massachusetts.

Menkiti receives $3.6M tax credit for Shack's downtown apartment conversion.

Menkiti receives $3.6M tax credit for Shack's downtown apartment conversion. July 13, 2026 The Menkiti Group has received a $3.6-million state tax credit to help convert a 171-year-old Downtown Worcester building into 48 apartments. The Washington, D.C.-based developer was awarded the tax break as part of the state's Housing Development Incentive Program, the Gov. Maura Healey Administration announced Thursday. HDIP aims to increase housing opportunities in Massachusetts' 26 Gateway Cities. Menkiti Group is redeveloping the site's upper floors of the building at 401-409 Main St. into apartments, including five affordable units reserved for households earning no more than 60% of the area median income. Menkiti had previously done work on the building's exterior and built out a Bank of America branch location on the first floor. The project previously received a 10-year tax increment exemption from the City of Worcester, which will see the property save $613,211 in taxes over the life of the deal. Obtaining a municipal tax break is a requirement for receiving HDIP tax credits from the state. The Worcester tax exemption was approved by the City Council on a 6-4 vote, with opponents expressing concern about alleged wage theft by subcontractors used by Menkiti on other projects. The project is estimated to cost around $27 million. Known as the Clark Block, the building dates back to the 1850s and was the former longtime home of Shack's Clothes before the business closed in 2017, according to the Worcester Telegram & Gazette. Menkiti's development was the lone Central Massachusetts project to receive a tax credit in this round of funding. Since 2023, the state's Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities has awarded HDIP tax credits to 52 projects representing 3,404 housing units.

Gov. Healey awards $18.6 million to six cities for new housing.

Gov. Healey awards $18.6 million to six cities for new housing. USA TODAY NETWORK - New England July 13, 2026, 11:26 a.m. ET * Gov. Maura Healey announced her administration is awarding $3.6 million to the Menkiti Group to transform Clark Block into 48 rental homes. * It's one of six projects receiving a total of $18.6 million in Housing Development Incentive Program (HDIP) tax credits to make 662 units of new housing. * The other housing developments set to receive funds are in Fall River, Lawrence, Lowell, Pittsfield and Taunton. Clark Block in Worcester is set for a makeover - with help from the state government. On July 9, Gov. Maura Healey announced her administration is awarding $3.6 million to the Menkiti Group to transform Clark Block, a historic building located at 401-409 Main St. that was most recently home to Shack's Clothes, into 48 rental homes. Five would be affordable homes. It's one of six projects receiving a total of $18.6 million in Housing Development Incentive Program (HDIP) tax credits to transform historic and underutilized buildings into 662 units of new housing. The other housing developments set to receive funds are in Fall River, Lawrence, Lowell, Pittsfield and Taunton. "Every community has different housing needs, and we need to give cities the tools that work best for them to build more homes and lower costs," Healey said in a press release. "These awards will create 662 new homes, strengthen downtowns and help make Massachusetts more affordable." Housing is a major issue in Massachusetts: a June 30 poll from the University of New Hampshire Survey Center found that a majority of Massachusetts residents believe housing or the cost of living is the most important problem facing the state. In another poll released July 7, 70% of those considering leaving Massachusetts said it was due to the cost of housing or living. Which cities are getting money for housing? In addition to the Clark Block Rehabilitation, five other projects, all located in gateway cities, are set to receive development earmarks. * Durfee Block Apartments, Fall River: $1.5 million to Monte Ferris Jr. to support the adaptive reuse of a historic building in downtown Fall River into 22 rental homes. * 216 Canal Street, Lawrence: $2.5 million to 216 Canal LLC to support the adaptive reuse of a mill building in Lawrence's canal district into 99 rental homes. * Franco American School Phase III, Lowell: $3.2 million to TMI Property Management to support new construction of 80 rental homes and commercial space. * 24-34 North Park Square Residences, Pittsfield: $4 million to Allegrone Companies to support the adaptive reuse of a historic office building in Pittsfield's Park Square into 23 rental homes, with street-level retail and a commercial kitchen. * Whittenton Mill Apartments, Taunton: $3.8 million to Greystar to support the demolition of a former mill and new construction of 390 rental homes. What is HDIP? Gateway cities? The money is coming from the Housing Development Incentive Program (HDIP), which aims to create housing in gateway cities by providing tax credits to advance housing projects that "strengthen downtowns, reuse vacant or underutilized buildings and help communities expand their housing supply." There are 26 gateway cities in the state. These cities are municipalities with populations between 35,000 and 250,000 that have a median household income and a rate of educational attainment of bachelor's degree or above that are below the state's average. According to the press release, 52 projects, supporting 3,404 new homes in 16 cities, have received HDIP tax credits since January 2023.
