Powerhouse Square in Great Barrington to go to foreclosure auction Nov. 23

Great Barrington — Powerhouse Square, located at 34 Bridge Street, is scheduled to go to foreclosure auction Monday, November 23. According to legal documents, property owner Benchmark Development LLC, d/b/a Powerhouse Square I LLC, breached the conditions of its mortgage with MountainOne Bank. The building has 22 condominiums and 25,000 square feet of local retail space, with the Berkshire Food Co-op as its anchor tenant. Benchmark Development first announced plans to build Powerhouse Square in February 2017 at an estimated cost of $15 million. During a special permit hearing that same month, then-Co-op manager Daniel Esko told the Selectboard that the Co-op’s move to Powerhouse Square would be “critical” to its survival. The Co-op opened its first store in 1981 in the granary building on Rosseter Street, before moving to Bridge Street in 2003.
