A Manchester-based developer is proposing a 74-unit, mixed-income apartment building in Glastonbury that could be occupied in early 2024 if it gets approval from several town boards.
Developer Richard Hayes Jr., principal of Manchester/Hebron Avenue LLC, is proposing 74 multifamily units for the site at Manchester Road and Hebron Avenue, which is across the street from Buckingham Park and will be known as Buckingham Corners. The building will be five stories tall, according to Hinckley Allen partner Timothy Hollister, who represents Hayes.
Several town committees and commissions still need to sign off on the plan. They include the Conservation Commission, Sewer Commission, Architectural Review Committee and Town Plan & Zoning Commission, which will  hold a public hearing on the project May 17.
Hollister said that if city leaders sign off on the plan, construction would start in the fall of 2022 and take about 18 months. Occupancy could begin in early 2024, he said.
Hollister said the building will be L-shaped and wouldn’t be visible from neighboring properties. The property slopes about 40 feet and will be tucked into the hillside, Hollister said.
Hollister said 70% of the units will go for market rate while the other 30% will be for moderate-income households. There will be 85 parking spaces, Hollister said.
Hollister said it wasn’t clear, at this time, how much the project would cost.Â
Glastonbury Town Planner Jonathan Mullen was out of the office Tuesday and not available for comment.
