Winstanley Enterprises and Dacon transform Southampton Road Industrial Center into Class A industrial powerhouse

Westfield, MA When Winstanley Enterprises set out to reimagine 1111 Southampton Rd., the vision was clear: take an aging industrial facility and transform it into one of the most competitive Class A warehouse, distribution, and manufacturing spaces in Western Massachusetts. The result is a renovation that delivers on every front.

CI Design was the lead architect and Dacon Corporation led the $20 million renovation effort on the sweeping overhaul of the 645,301 s/f Southampton Road Industrial Center, with approximately 262,000 s/f now available for lease; subdivisible to approximately 130,000 s/f.

The headline upgrade is power. The facility will have 8,000 amps of available power with the ability to increase to a capacity of 16,000 amps, a critical differentiator for tenants with heavy manufacturing or high-demand distribution operations. Paired with a new ESFR wet sprinkler system, updated life safety equipment, new electrical wiring, transformers and switchgear, the building is engineered for modern industrial demands.

“Winstanley Enterprises came to us with a bold vision for this property, and the investment reflects a real commitment to doing this the right way,” said Kevin Quinn, president and CEO of Dacon Corporation. “Southampton Road Industrial Center is now one of the strongest offerings in Western Massachusetts: the location, the power capacity, the loading infrastructure - it checks every box a sophisticated tenant is looking for.”

Beyond systems, the physical transformation is equally noticeable. A new modern facade gives the property a refreshed identity along Southampton Rd., while inside, a full white box interior, resealed and repaired floors, and LED motion sensor lighting create a move-in-ready environment. Thirty updated loading docks (9’ x 10’), a new concrete apron, new dock packages, and full-depth parking lot repairs round out the operational upgrades. A new roof top unit completes the mechanical improvements.

The site also features approximately five acres available for outdoor storage or parking, and a pollinator field - a nod to a sustainable site that sets this property apart.

Our goal at Southampton Road Industrial Center was to deliver a modern, highly functional facility that meets the evolving needs of today’s industrial users,” said Adam Winstanley, principal of Winstanley Enterprises. “By making a significant investment in power capacity, infrastructure, and overall building quality, we’ve positioned this asset to compete with the best product in the region while offering tenants the flexibility and efficiency they need to grow.”

Strategically positioned just 2.5 miles from I-90/Mass. Tpke. and 3.2 miles from I-91, Southampton Road Industrial Center offers access to 25 million-plus people within a four-hour drive. Space is available Q4 2026.
