Salem MA Developments

[stellarfun]

The Commonwealth selected the development team, as this is state-owned land which will be sold on project completion to the two developers. Avalon gets to do all new construction. Winn will do adaptive re-use of existing buildings, and presumably receive historic preservation tax credits.. See the five existing buildings listed for adaptive re-use in the table below. A high percentage of the units in the Winn-developed land parcels will be AMI 'affordable'.

Salem voters have approved the city’s first-ever property tax override to help fund a new $447 million Salem High School.

It looks like a revival of brutalism, although I doubt those exteriors are concrete.

Grade school architecture has taken on a life of its own in New England. This seems to be region-specific.

The architect for the new high school is Perkins & Will.

At least one document, the Preliminary Design program, was too large to view on-line, and required downloading to the 'cloud' to view. Not viewed, yet.. A 500-page document had only internal renderings.
