A New York-based developer is looking to build nearly 200 apartment units adjacent to two office buildings near Interstate 84 in Farmington.
The “Pond View Apartments” are planned to be situated at 74-76 Batterson Park Road and would consist of a single, four-story, 56,000-square-foot building, according to project documents submitted to the town’s wetlands commission by SLR International Corp., an environmental consulting firm.
The complex would accommodate 199 apartment units, SLR said, as well as a courtyard containing a 2,100-square-foot pool and a surrounding paved parking lot and access drives.
Pond LLC, which lists an address in Manhattan, is the entity behind the proposal. It is controlled by Sovereign Partners, a commercial real estate agency also headquartered in New York City.
According to town property records, Pond LLC bought the existing office buildings at 74-76 Batterson Park Road in the summer of 2019 for almost $20 million. Both sit directly to the west of Batterson Park and Batterson Park Pond.
Space in the buildings is leased to a number of different tenants.
Pond LLC has not yet made a formal application to Farmington’s Planning and Zoning Commission for the Pond View Apartments.
