With his application for a zoning change and a site plan now approved, a developer plans to start the conversion of the former Marriott hotel in Farmington 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,” said Jason Schlesinger, owner of CLP Farmington LLC. “We look forward to creating a vibrant live, work, play community and becoming one of the premier multi-family communities in the Greater Hartford area.”
Schlesinger is working to redevelop the 381-room Hartford Marriott Farmington — which shut down earlier this year — into 225 studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom luxury apartments. The units would include stainless steel appliances, stone countertops and washing and drying machines.
The hotel’s pools, fitness center, courtyard and event spaces are being targeted for renovations and improvements, and the entire site will undergo architectural and landscaping enhancements. Aside from housing, the complex will also include a new coffee shop and restaurant.
CLP Farmington acquired the hotel in June for $10.5 million, and Farmington’s Planning and Zoning Commission approved the company’s plans for the site last week.
Construction is expected to be completed by the spring of 2022. Leasing will begin in January.
