NorthPoint & Winstanley Set to Convert 126-acre Site into Distribution Hub in Westfield, MA

In an area once bustling with activity from a renowned computer manufacturing company, plans are underway to repurpose the location into a warehouse and distribution center. Spearheaded by a joint venture between Winstanley Enterprises, LLC and NorthPoint Development, the project has received the green light from both state and local authorities, marking a significant step forward.

A Booming Sector and Strategic Location

The approval comes amidst a thriving warehouse and distribution sector. Situated conveniently just 2.5 miles from the Massachusetts Turnpike exit, the 126-acre parcel promises easy accessibility. Plans include ample parking for employees and tractor trailers, catering to the needs of potential tenants.

Community-Centric Development

Following concerns voiced by the local community, the development team adjusted their plans accordingly. Measures such as a robust stormwater management system and preservation of mature trees were incorporated into the site plan. Moreover, connections to North Road were eliminated to address traffic concerns. Such community-oriented adjustments helped secure both state and local approvals.

Moving Forward with Purpose

Adam Winstanley, Principal of Winstanley Enterprises, emphasized the project's commitment to community input and economic development benefits for Westfield. Despite ongoing marketing efforts to attract tenants, the project will proceed even without a secured tenant, demonstrating confidence in its appeal.

Continued Coordination and Optimism

With approvals in hand, the focus now shifts to finalizing building designs and traffic mitigation strategies. Andrew Villari, Development Manager for NorthPoint Development, highlighted the location's appeal for businesses seeking modern facilities with easy access. The project enjoys support from a range of professionals, including Epsilon Associates, VHB, Good Earth Advisors, and Watkins Strategies.

A Vision for Growth

Dubbed Falcon Landing, the approved facility promises to be a cutting-edge distribution center spanning 524,000 square feet. Positioned adjacent to the Westfield-Barnes Regional Airport, the project reflects a vision for progress and economic vitality in Westfield, Massachusetts.
