P&Z Hears Plan for 6-Story, 81-Unit Housing Complex

All the facts were not in yet, so most of the public who had signed up to speak, deferred until the Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) meets on Thursday, June 21.

But the major points made during the first reading were enough for a couple to rail against it: a six-story, 81-unit one- and two-bedroom rental housing development with 153 parking spaces, all of it just west of downtown, all of it via the state’s affordable housing statute 8-30g.

The proposed location of Cross Street LLC’s development cuts through Lincoln Street, Post Road West and Cross Street.

“This we feel is an ideal location because of its proximity to transit,” said John Fallon, attorney representing the developer.

Going Down: 27 Soundview Drive

Demolition was underway today of 27 Soundview Drive in the Compo Beach section. Built in 1880, the three-story conventional has 4,005-square feet, is situated on a .1-acre beachfront property and last changed ownership in August 2016 for $2.4 million. It was the WestportNow Teardown of the Day on Dec. 9, 2016. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Helen Klisser During for WestportNow.com

There are currently 46 homes that are located within a one half-mile of four entrances and corresponding exits of the Connecticut Turnpike and the Merritt Parkway that head in both directions.

Out of the four access points in Westport, which are divided equally between these limited access highways, one particular area seems to stand out as far as availability, pricing and overall market conditions.

The immediate area surrounding Merritt Parkway’s exit 42 has the strongest activity as far as proximity to commuter access by car is concerned, and contains 17 homes for sale at an average list price of $1,225,429, which is also the most affordable of the four access points.

The Westport law firm of Randel & Molloy LLC acted on behalf of the buyer, The Glenmere II, LLC. The limited liability company’s address is listed as the same as the law firm at 265 Post Road West.

“Our firm was brought into the deal because of our existing relationship with the buyer’s real estate agent who recommended us to her client,” said Kelly A. Molloy, one of the law firm’s principals.

“Our buyer has had an interest in this home for well over a year, and they were finally able to negotiate with Bob Weinstein to a number they could both agree on.”

Real Estate Report: Time to Sell Warm Weather Standouts

By Judy Szablak

Special to WestportNow

Now that the official start of the summer season is upon us, it is a prime time to sell your Westport home with warm weather comforts.

In fact, of the 74 homes that closed in the last five years that had both an in-ground pool and a tennis court, only 36 percent closed during a colder seasonal climate.

Buyers who are interested in specific weather-related property amenities such as a tennis court and pool prefer to see the latter functioning, and both should be marketed in their full glory if at all possible.

Add to that fact that neither can truly be fully appreciated during the colder months, and pools need to be opened in order to be inspected.
