Great Barrington, MA On January 26th, The Goldman Group, a Boston-based real estate company, was approved by the Great Barrington Planning Board to convert the former nursing home at 148 Maple Ave. into 30 condominium units. At present, the town has a vacancy rate of 0%. With the town in immediate need of additional residential property, this development will contribute to the community-wide effort of increasing the inventory of available housing.
The development will comprise 12 one-bedrooms, 16 two-bedrooms, and two three-bedrooms. Amenities are set to include a fitness center, pet-grooming station, an elevator, and both indoor and outdoor lounge areas.
The Goldman Group has issued the following statement:
“We are grateful to have the support of the planning board to proceed with this exciting redevelopment project. Over the last few weeks, we have enjoyed holding meetings with neighbors and community members who have granted us the opportunity to better understand the town’s needs and interests. We look forward to our continued work with the town of Great Barrington as we continue the process and bring new value to an already vibrant community.”
With a construction crew in place and demolition already in progress, The Goldman Group expects the project to be completed by this summer. Units will be listed for pre-sale soon.
