Skyview Downtown

The $50 million rehabilitation of Skyview Downtown modernizes four outdated structures into a prominent and contemporary mixed-use asset, advancing the renaissance of Springfield, MA. Initially built in the 1970s, the multi-building campus includes a 33-story tower with a connected four-level parking garage, an 18-story building, and a nine-story building that connects to a five-story structure via a two-level parking garage.

Included in the design scope is a new Springfield Police Department substation. The original campus was planned as a quadrangle by Frederick Law Olmsted, envisioned to reconnect the Washington arsenal to the riverfront, creating active pedestrian traffic and a gateway to the city.

Interior modifications modernized a large common area that overlooks the new MGM casino and provides residents with a new management center, mailroom, computer lounge, children’s playroom, and fitness center with views of the historic district. Unit refurbishments included bringing 25 units up to ADA standards for mobility-impaired households and 10 units for the hearing-impaired.
