Elm Street project ready to roll; site being transferred to developers
The long-awaited start of construction at the former Court Square Hotel property at 13-31 Elm St. is ready to commence as the downtown property is being transferred to developers. WinnCompanies of Boston, and co-developer Peter Picknelly’s Opal Real Estate, of Springfield, will transform the historic hotel site into apartments after the Springfield Redevelopment Authority completes a hazardous materials cleanup at the downtown site. Transfer of the property will not take place until after that work is completed in November.
