West Warren Complex
West Warren Complex is an historic mill complex in West Warren, Massachusetts on the Quaboag River where it was originally sited to take advantage of its water resources. The property was previously used and maintained by the Wm Wright Company.
The 15 building, predominantly mill complex, totals approximately 600,000 square feet on 105.79 acres of land. The brick and concrete buildings on the site vary in number of stories and were constructed during separate periods beginning approximately 110 years ago. The property is currently used for warehouse, manufacturing and office space. All of the buildings are protected with a sprinkler system and are well maintained. The lot is level where the buildings are located and sloped on the additional land area. The area has mixed demographics with low to moderate-income levels in the immediate area.
Two dams exist on the Quaboag River that originally provided the mill complex power, cooling and fire protection water. Currently, the lower dam's impoundment provides only non-contact cooling water and water for fire protection; the upper dam slightly upstream from the mill has fallen into disrepair and is not utilized. It was breached during a flood in the mid 1950's along its northern terminus with the shoreline. Approximately 80% of the stone and concrete structure remains intact though it has not been maintained. The upper dam is connected to Wrights via a canal paralleling the Quaboag River that while overgrown, still retains water in its course. Both dams can be permitted for hydroelectric power generation.
MDP Development is willing to sell or lease all or a portion of this property. With onsite power generation capability and commercial and residential development opportunities, this complex has the potential to be utilized by small or large companies or development firms.
