Investment highlights
ACCESS & CONNECTIVITY
The Property is served by multiple Pioneer Valley Transit Authority (PVTA) bus routes, providing convenient service throughout the city and region, with Union Station (0.5 miles away) serving as a major hub for Amtrak, CTrail, and intercity bus lines including Peter Pan and Greyhound. These connections link Springfield to Hartford, New Haven, Boston, and New York City. For drivers, Interstate 91 and Interstate 291 are both just minutes away, offering efficient regional access to the Massachusetts Turnpike (I-90) and surrounding metropolitan areas.
AREA AMENITIES & DEMAND DRIVERS
Surrounded by a vibrant mix of modern and historic amenities that make the area highly desirable. Residents enjoy an array of dining choices, from the food hall and renowned steakhouses at MGM Springfield to beloved local restaurants such as Student Prince Cafe, Max Tavern, and 350 Grill, all within walking distance.
The neighborhood delivers a robust retail and shopping experience with boutique stores, specialty outlets, and quick-service options downtown, as well as larger retail amenities like Holyoke Mall nearby and shops within MGM itself. Lifestyle perks include fitness centers, walkable green spaces, and excellent access to cultural landmarks like the MassMutual Center, Symphony Hall, and the Springfield Museums complex, which hosts attractions including the Amazing World of Dr. Seuss Museum.
Community engagement thrives through frequent public events such as the Harvest Festival at The Landing, ongoing family programs at Springfield City Library, and annual celebrations like the Springfield Jazz & Roots Festival.
RENTAL GROWTH & UPSIDE POTENTIAL
SilverBrick Square offers a clear loss-to-lease opportunity, with current inplace rents still below achievable market levels despite outperforming many competing properties. The heavy capital work has already been completed, allowing a new owner to capture immediate upside through rent increases rather than additional capex or unit turns. As downtown Springfield continues to revitalize, demand for amenity-rich, walkable housing is rising. Positioned firmly in the luxury rehab niche, SilverBrick Square is poised to benefit from this momentum—especially with Fair Market Rents in Hampden County projected to increase by 15% in 2026, further supporting rent growth potential.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS

Elevator Modernization: Both elevators have been fully modernized, including new cabs and upgraded machine rooms, completed circa 2018–2019 for improved reliability and tenant experience.
Mechanical Upgrades: All boilers, tanks, motors, pumps, and HVAC piping were replaced prior to 2018, ensuring years of continued efficiency and performance. (Comprehensive warranty documentation available upon request.)
