CHICOPEE, MASS. — MassHousing has provided $37.3 million in financing for Singing Bridge Residences, a 105-unit affordable housing project in Chicopee, located near the Massachusetts-New York border. The borrower, a joint venture between Sydney Capital Group LLC and Brisa Builders Development, will develop the complex on a four-acre, riverfront site at 400 Main St. that was previously owned by the city. Other portions of the site will be developed separately to feature a sports complex, brewery and an office building. The unit mix will consist of 16 studios, 21 one-bedroom apartments, 57 two-bedroom residences and 11 three-bedroom apartments and will feature a range of income restrictions. Paul A. Castrucci Architects is designing Singing Bridge Residences, and Western Builders is serving as the general contractor. Completion is slated for summer 2027.
Singing Bridge Residences represents part of Chicopee's larger effort to redevelop the Facemate property, a four-acre site in the River Mills area. In addition to the residential units, the building will include a community kitchen and lounge, outdoor patio space overlooking the river, laundry facilities and a small commercial space.
