Owners of a 1.5-acre parcel on a busy commercial stretch of Route 5, Wallingford, plan to redevelop their property into a modern car wash.
Gerald Gallo of 654 North Colony Development LLC purchased the site at 654 North Colony Road from 654 North Colony LLC and principals Brian and Bruce Bennett for $1.5 million.
Dating back to 1900, the main building on the property has 6,600 square feet of commercial space.
The property was sold as a redevelopment site, and the new owners plan to build a new car wash there, according to Toby Brimberg of Rocky Hill-based O,R&L Commercial, who represented the sellers and the buyers in the deal.
The previous business owned by Bruce Bennett at 654 North Colony Road specialized in coating, caulking, and weather, water and fireproofing since 1987.
The property has a total appraised value of $516,000.
