The Residences at Bowfield Green mixed-use development in downtown Windsor is set to take shape as town officials and members of the development team broke ground on the project Monday.
The development by Sachdev Real Estate Development Group and property owner Dr. Mohan Sachdev, priced at more than $20 million, will feature a residential and retail complex on two vacant sites at 109-125 Poquonock Ave., a former car dealership brownfield site that was remediated.
Officials have said Bowfield Green with its 7,000 square feet of first-floor retail space and 77 market-rate apartments above, is a key component to transforming the downtown Windsor area into a transit-oriented development.
Windsor Economic Development Director Patrick McMahon said the site is ideally situated within walking distance of a 95-acre open space park, and a half-mile to the town green and train station.
Another mixed-use redevelopment project, the Founder’s Square, is set to go vertical this week, town officials said.
The Residences at Bowfield Green will have 28 studio apartments, 41 one-bedroom and eight two-bedroom units.
Neill Sachdev, of Sachdev development, said he expects to start taking residential and retail lease applications in early 2025, with completion of the project expected in the fall of 2025.
