Springfield, MA Paul Bongiorni and his team at Pioneer CRE have completed several new leases and lease renewals at Market Place. A second-generation restaurant space was leased to a new tenant in July, and the restaurant will be opening after renovations are completed.

The Pioneer CRE brokerage and management teams also facilitated several lease renewals at the property recently, including the expansion of an existing tenant into additional office space.
