Doing ones own due diligence is important to be well informed, as details matter. Therefore, in a recent filing, Steven F. Venincasa provided the following list of projects to the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) presumably as reference projects. Like a resume, people tend to accentuate the positives and omit the negatives. Therefore, a deep dive on each of these projects and others not listed should be a part of any due diligence as details and facts matter.

Canal Street Apartments was added to the list below since the project is currently under construction at 19 Canal Street in Millbury, Massachusetts.

Steven F. Venincasa has numerous limited liability corporations whose websites tout over 40-years of experience, therefore, the list provided may be more representative than all-inclusive.

Representative Projects

We attempted to locate the completed or in progress multifamily projects with street name(s) or a specific address (when possible), so individuals could conduct their own site visits to evaluate these projects, including, but not limited to a fit with the neighborhood or area, build quality, maintenance and upkeep, attention to details, density, public safety, ample parking during the evenings, weekends, or overnight, etc.

It should be noted that it is unclear what the value provided actually represents.

Proposed Projects

These are other proposed projects that Steven F. Venincasa and James Venincasa, under different limited liability corporation entities, are working to get pushed through the local and state permitting processes that we are or have been made aware of:

A quick search in popular search engines, social media sites, newspapers, local public meeting recordings and meeting minutes will allow you to do your own due diligence. You can also refer to the Meetings Replay page for even more insights.
