New Sign Heralds Saugatuck Center Development

A new sign went up on Riverside Avenue today heralding construction of a new retail, office and residential development in Westport’s Saugauck area. The posting of a sign for phase one of what is called Saugatuck Center features the “Marsh” and “Tide” waterside buildings that will house 4,000 square feet of retail space on the street level, as well as 5,000 square feet of office space overlooking the water and six residential apartments on the second floor. Backed by the Gault family, the development’s initial buildings are scheduled to be completed by early 2011. The developer is promoting Saugatuck Center as a “plan to bring neighborhood back to Saugatuck, Westport’s historic waterfront community.” (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
