A 4,200-square-foot commercial building is poised to go up at Westport’s 100 Post Road East following last week’s Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) site plan approval.

The downtown’s first major commercial construction in decades, the building is to be situated adjacent to Old Town Hall and at the site of the vacated, drive-up TD Bank kiosk.

“We’ve had much interest in the property from prospective tenants, but I want the right tenant,” said Rob Haroun, principal of Old Town Hall LLC.

“I do not want to lease it for food use,” he added, noting that he is in discussion with two clothing companies he did not disclose. “With Urban Outfitters across the street, and 90 Post Road East (Old Town Hall) leased to Spruce Home and Garden, and the Town Hall Restaurant opening in its lower level, Westport’s downtown has been extended.”
