EASTHAMPTON — Marijuana grower and retailer Insa bought the 122 Pleasant St. location of its growing, packaging and medical and recreational retail operations last month for $2.7 million.
The sale, along with papers splitting the century-old mill building into two business condominium units, was recorded Jan. 23 at the Hampshire County Registry of Deeds. Insa had been a renter.
Insa wanted to buy the space — 90,000 square feet according to property documents — to protect its considerable investment there in renovations and equipment, said James R. Witmer II, who was their landlord and retains ownership of the remaining 75,000 square feet of the building.
“It’s like a laboratory in there,” Witmer said.
He said little will change for visitors or for other tenants in the building.
With partners, Witmer owns four buildings in the complex: 122, 136, 142 and 150 Pleasant St., which he calls Keystone Mills. Other tenants include Abandoned Building Brewery in 142 Pleasant St.
He and his partners bought 150 Pleasant St., the Paragon Building, in 2020 for $1.5 million. Renovations in the at building are ongoing, he said.
Insa didn’t return calls and emails for comment Thursday.
Insa has Massachusetts operations in Easthampton, Salem and a recreational, adult use store on West Columbus Avenue in Springfield and a medical cannabis dispensary on Cottage Street in Springfield.
Insa also has operations in Florida and Pennsylvania.
