Former Briarwood College campus in Southington purchased for $3.5M

The Southington campus of the former Lincoln College of New England, once known as Briarwood College, has been sold.

According to town property records, an entity known as PGX Holdings, which has a listed address in New Haven, paid $3.5 million for the 32-acre property at 2279 Mount Vernon Road in May. 
PGX Holdings is controlled by Medel Paris of New Haven and Moises Grunblatt of Woodbridge, state records show. 

The seller was Briarwood Real Estate Limited, which had owned the land since 1989.

Records indicate the property houses seven buildings, mostly built between 1967 and 2008 to serve as classroom space. One building, put up in 2004, is listed as an apartment building.

Lincoln College of New England moved out of the property in 2018 and shut down in 2019. The institution was known as Briarwood College between its founding in 1966 and early 2010.

The future of the campus property has been in limbo for the last few years. There have been plans pitched to redevelop the property into luxury homes for the 55 and older community and affordable housing, but none have come to fruition.
