The former Hartford Marriott Farmington hotel, which received town approval this summer to be converted into an apartment project, has sold for $21.5 million and is now under new ownership, town records show.
The 381-room hotel at 15 Farm Springs Road, which closed earlier this year, sold Oct. 7, property records show.
The seller was CLP Farmington LLC, which is controlled by Robert Schlesinger of Freeport, New York, state records show. Jason Schlesinger, who is also an owner of CLP Farmington LLC, was the developer who said in July that construction would begin in late summer to convert the hotel into 225 studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom luxury apartments.
The buyer was GF8 Farm Springs LLC, which is controlled by Yechezkel Landau of Lakewood, New Jersey, state records show.
It’s not clear what the sale means for the apartment conversion project. Jason Schlesinger didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking comment.
Farmington Town Planner Shannon Rutherford said she had not spoken to the new owners and has no further information about the project.
In July, after receiving a zoning change and site plan approval, Jason Schlesinger told HBJ that he planned to start the conversion of the former Marriott hotel into a mixed-used apartment complex later this summer.
“We’re excited to meet a growing need in Farmington and throughout the area and develop a new multifamily community with robust amenities, convenience and luxury,” Schlesinger said in July. “We look forward to creating a vibrant live, work, play community and becoming one of the premier multifamily communities in the Greater Hartford area.”
CLP Farmington acquired the hotel in June for $10.5 million, town records show.
