About this episode
Greenwich Developer Proposes Apartment Building on Former Supermarket Parking Lot
A local developer in Greenwich is planning to transform a vacant supermarket parking lot into a nine-unit apartment building. The proposed four-story structure at 49 Brookside Drive would replace overflow parking from a nearby Acme store that closed last year. The half-acre site, currently zoned for parking, requires a zone change to allow residential use.
The building would consist of seven three-bedroom units and two two-bedroom units, with one unit designated as affordable housing to meet town requirements. The design includes private patios, shared roof decks, basement storage, and bike spots, aiming for modern living without overwhelming the site.
The project has sparked discussions about traffic and neighborhood feel, as locals might welcome more housing options in Greenwichs tight rental market. The structure would top out at 45 feet, leaving room for green space and including twenty-three parking spaces, mostly underground.
As the application heads to the Planning and Zoning Commission, public hearings are expected to shape whether this redevelopment gets the green light and helps revive the spot.

It's March 26th. From your city to your ears, this is Hartford News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with The Story. A developer and Greenwich has proposed turning a former supermarket parking lot into a nine-unit apartment building. The four-story project that 49 Brookside Drive would replace overflow parking from a nearby ACME store that shut down last fall. The half-acre side currently sits empty, and the plan needs a zone change to allow homes in what was designated just for parking. The property belongs to a Florida-based owner through a local LLC, though he hasn't commented yet. This move fits into broader efforts to reuse underused commercial spaces in the area. The building would feature seven three bedroom units and two two bedroom ones, with one set aside as affordable housing to meet town rules. Locals might welcome more housing options amid Greenwich's tight rental market, but it could spark talk about traffic and neighborhood feel. The design includes private patios, shared roof decks, basement storage, and bike spots, aiming for modern living without overwhelming the site.
Details show, 23 parking spaces total, mostly underground, keeping surface lots minimal. The structure would top out at 45 feet, covering just part of the lot to leave room for green space. As the application heads to the Planning and Zoning Commission, expect public hearing soon to shape whether this redevelopment gets the green light, and helps revive the spot.
