Construction continues at the Northampton I-91 Professional Center. With 60% of the 33,000 s/f building preleased, construction is set to be complete for tenant move-in by September of this year. This 3-story medical/professional office building is the first phase of the largest office project proposed and developed in Northampton in decades. This project features dramatic architectural finishes and a high proportion of glass, to let in natural light. Green technologies along with energy efficient mechanical systems are being incorporated throughout the building to reduce energy usage and improve the overall quality. Tenants can have the opportunity designed floor-plan to maximize the efficiency of their business.
