Star City LLC's Residential Apartment Plan for Wethersfield

0:00A developer named Star City LLC just dropped a concept for a 44-unit apartment building on a 1.8-acre lot at 648. Russell Road in Weathersfield. It's a family-run firm out of Great Neck, New York, pitching this as a 3.5-story setup with 31 one-bedroom units in 13. Two bedrooms, plus over 70 parking spots. The site's zoned for regional commercial use, but this plan pushes for all residential vibes, which means they'll need waivers for higher density, extra height, and sub-designed tweaks to make it fly. Locals and officials note the spots hidden behind a thick tree line from the Berlin Turnpike, making retail a tough sell perfect setup for housing. Instead, they argue to meet growing demand without wasting prime land. Right now it's just a non-binding pre-application. No formal approval or green lights yet, straight from town planners. You're gearing up for a planning and zoning commission review soon. Keep an ear out as this unfolds. Could reshape that corner of Weathersfield into fresh living space if it clears the hurdles.
