The former Daybreak Nurseries at 500 Main St. is getting a sidewalk to nowhere — a small price to pay for the town’s newest housing complex under construction, Daybreak Commons Westport.
The more than 700 feet of walkway will wrap from Main Street to Weston Road and to the entrance of the complex’s nine, 55 age-restricted homes going up on the 2.2-acre site.
Johnny Schwartz, principal of Norwalk’s Able Construction, Inc., said the sidewalk is what the town required, and because it was a state road, a whole host of state requirements had to be met as well.
But it’s not for naught, Schwartz said. Someday, it might connect to walkways at the intersection of Main Street and Compo Road North.
The office buildings at 8 and 10 Wright St. overlooking Westport’s downtown have changed hands for more than $30 million, almost double the purchase price five years ago.
The seller, Boston-based Marcus Partners, said it invested more than $5 million in a large-scale capital improvement program in the buildings, including renovation and upgrades of the lobbies and all common areas. The Town Clerk’s Office said the sale was recorded on June 28 for $30,021,500.
Marcus Partners said the property is currently 94% leased and consists of two office buildings totaling 83,964 square feet. The buyer was identified as WFF Westport TT LLC, a Boston-based firm of Waterway Capital, LLC, according to the sale documents.
Tenants at 8 & 10 Wright Street include: UBS, Regus Corporation, Berkowitz, Trager & Trager, Energy Income Partners, and Ameriprise Financial, among other boutique financial services firms.
Scenes from the construction of the LCB Senior Living site, 1141 Post Road East. The 96-unit, three-story facility will be completed by July 2020, according to Marc Lyons, LCB project manager. It will offer a range of accommodations comprised of independent, assisted living and memory support units. LCB owns or operates 23 sites, including four in Connecticut — South Windsor, Avon, Stamford, and Darien. The site was formerly home to Kowalsky Brothers Construction. It is the first senior living facility to come to town since Westport Health Care Services and its predecessors was built in 1964 at 1 Burr Road. Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
