Clarke School developers seek to meet with neighbors about proposed changes in luxury housing plans in Northampton

Peter Pan Bus Company president Peter Picknelly bought 11 buildings on 11.8 acres of land from the school in 2013 for $4.8 million with the intention of turning the space into luxury apartments. The plan later changed to add a commercial component. Picknelly bought the property under OPAL Real Estate, which he runs, but the project was put under the auspices of Historic Roundhill. Frozen pipes put a temporary halt to construction last year, but Picknelly has said it is still on target to finish.
