There will be a groundbreaking celebration for Station 280, a new luxury apartment rental community just north of downtown Granby, at 8:30 a.m. Saturday.
Burkentine Builders, a Hanover, Pennsylvania-based real estate developer, received approvals to build 235 garden-style apartments at 280 Salmon Brook St. (Route 10), with one-, two- and three-bedroom units that feature stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. The project is expected to cost about $50 million.
The architecture is designed to complement New England’s colonial heritage and features an outdoor pool, club house, fitness center, fire pit seating, a dog park and community bike racks.
“We expect that Station 280 will be well-received and add to our signature Route 10/202 corridor promoted by the ongoing merger of the Granby and Simsbury chambers,” said Bob Marx, president of the Granby Chamber of Commerce.
Station 280 will be Granby’s largest-ever apartment development. The town has recently become an apartment-development hotspot, with nearly 400 rental units that have either come online, or are in the planning pipeline.
