Tour Library Commons

There is so much to celebrate about Library Commons in Holyoke! Comprised of three rehabilitated historical buildings and one newly constructed building (193-203 Chestnut Street and 210 Elm Street), the mixed-use development proudly furthers the revitalization of downtown Holyoke. Library Commons blends 38 residences (two- and three-bedroom apartments) with community facilities, support services, cultural space, and onsite parking—within walking distance of the Holyoke Public Library, public transportation, stores, and more. Way Finders has plans to develop additional affordable housing in this same neighborhood for years to come; this is just phase one.
