SPRINGFIELD, Mass., July 02, 2025 — Greystone Real Estate Advisory Group (GREA), serving as transaction advisor for the Massachusetts Division of Capital Asset Management & Maintenance (DCAMM), is pleased to announce a Request for Proposals (RFP) which provides an exceptional opportunity to design, build, and own a landmark facility anchored by a 40-year initial lease with the Commonwealth — a new courthouse facility in Springfield, MA.

The selected development partner will be responsible for providing a site and delivering a fully functional courthouse encompassing up to 330,000 usable square feet to accommodate judicial, administrative, detention, and court services. The initial lease term will span 40 years, with the potential for two 10-year extensions, for a total term of up to 60 years. 

“DCAMM is pleased to announce the availability of the Request for Proposals as a major milestone in the Commonwealth’s efforts to accelerate the delivery of a new modern regional justice center for Springfield and Hampden County,” said DCAMM Commissioner Adam Baacke. “We look forward to a robust response from the development community that will ultimately yield a high-quality facility that also reflects important community priorities.”

Development proposals must include: 

  • A suitable site within the city limits, preferably centrally located in Downtown Springfield, with strong civic identity and convenient public access 
  • Design that aligns with court operational needs and enhances community presence 
  • Plans to exceed the Commonwealth’s sustainability benchmarks 
  • Demonstrated experience in delivering large-scale civic or justice-related infrastructure 
  • Financial and operational capacity to execute a project of this magnitude

“We are pleased to see this important project move into its next phase,” said Executive Office of the Trial Court Chief Justice Heidi Brieger and Court Administrator Thomas G. Ambrosino. “This new courthouse will better serve our employees, court users, and the broader community.”
