‘First of its kind’ in Springfield
BOB WILLIAMS / THE CHRONICLE. A collaborative effort among Masaka Properties co-owners Bob Miller and David Loveall, Campfire Collaborative co-owner and architect Jenna L. Fribley, and Ryan Thomas Construction owner Ryan Thomas brings new development concepts to light at 448 Main Street. The team plans to refurbish the original building, which was just the first floor, in addition to adding two stories above it to add apartments to downtown.
Downtown project to preserve history, add to housing inventory
SPRINGFIELD – The team working on 448 Main St. is refurbishing the building to celebrate its history while adding new apartments to address the housing crisis.
Masaka Properties co-owners Bob Miller and David Loveall purchased the building almost three years ago. Loveall said he, Miller, and Campfire Collaborative co-owner and architect Jenna L. Fribley, “determined that people need to live on that block.”
“Masaka Properties’ ‘building the community one building at a time’ motto is that if we can get people to live downtown, then those people will demand certain services and create a neighborhood feel, which is the walkable neighborhood that we’re trying to create,” Loveall said.
