Hawley Manor | Northampton, MA
The Challenge
O’Connell Development Group purchased the former Saint John Cantius Church in March of 2020. The former Church was built in 1913 and is a contributing structure the corner of Hawley Street and Phillips Place within the Pomeroy Terrace Historic District in Northampton, MA. The St. John Cantius Parish was merged with Sacred Heart Parish in April 2010 after which time the church was closed and desanctified.
The ODG Approach
Site work was the initial challenge as the surround area of the church including the former directory were demolished, making room for the luxury Hawley Manor condo buildings. ODG worked continuously with the town and neighborhood residents to ensure the historical structure of the former church remained.
The Result
Hawley Manor now consists of 12 luxury condominiums split between three townhouse buildings. The units consist of two or three spacious bedrooms and three and half bathrooms.
