MassDevelopment has sold a half-acre parcel at a development in Northampton to local residential developer Wright Builders Inc.

The land will be used for the company’s next phase of construction at Village Hill Northampton’s Upper Ridge development. The phase, the second of the 28-unit condominium project, will include a three-story, six-unit flats building on Village Hill Road, featuring single-floor living with two units per floor, and a duplex building on Musante Drive. Wright Builders began construction May 5 and expects to complete the buildings within the year.

"Wright Builders has demonstrated success in sustainable development through past residential projects at Village Hill Northampton," MassDevelopment President and CEO Marty Jones said in a statement. "The company has been a valuable partner in the development of Village Hill, and we look forward to the progress of The Upper Ridge project."

Upon completion, Village Hill Northampton will have transformed a former state hospital property into a community with 300,000 square feet of commercial space, 300 market-rate and affordable homes and apartments and a variety of open space and recreation areas for enhanced living.
