Here are WinnCompanies' Arthur Winn and Larry Curtis (back, middle) dropping off a check for $50k toward the renovation of a 1k SF program space for the Square Tech Computer Repair and Training Center. Square Tech was created at the 500-unit Castle Square apartments in the South End, with ongoing support from the WinnCompanies, to provide affordable access to technology to the building's residents.

Castle Square Tenants Organization (CSTO) is the majority owner of Castle Square; WinnCompanies is a minority owner. “Thirty years ago, WinnCompanies made a commitment to preserve and maintain affordable housing at Castle Square," Curtis said.
