Singing Bridge Residences

The Singing Bridge Residences project is a new 110,000 GSF, eight-story building located along the Chicopee River in the revitalizing Chicopee Falls neighborhood of Chicopee, MA. Paul Castrucci Architects is designing the new Passive House building to provide 105 affordable apartments to working families to meet increasing housing needs in Chicopee and the wider region.

Singing Bridge Residences will be the centerpiece of the larger Baskin Redevelopment project, , a mixed-use redevelopment of the former Facemate industrial site, guided by the City of Chicopee’s redevelopment visions.

The site’s natural setting and industrial heritage provide inspiration for the new building. Located along the Chicopee River, the multi-story apartment building benefits from ample access to sunlight and views along a nature corridor that is being revived after over a century of intense industrial use. The future public park planned along the riverbanks plugs directly into the open space around the new building, connecting future residents to outdoor activities, including bicycling and walking opportunities.
