Newington officials have approved a Massachusetts-based developer’s mixed-use proposal that would bring 269 apartments and nearly 80,000 square feet of retail space to a vacant property along the Berlin Turnpike.
The town’s planning board voted unanimously last week to approve a series of zoning and site-plan applications submitted in April for 3333 Berlin Tpke./Rte. 5 from Framingham-based Grossman Development Group.
Grossman and its multifamily collaborator on the project, Criterion Development Partners, needed a series of approvals to move forward with building their planned apartments, restaurant/brewpub, fitness facility and retail space in excess of 40,000 square feet in the town’s so-called planned development district.
Grossman has not yet announced tenants, but it has worked with Whole Foods at its developments in several other states.
Besides its Newington project, the company also acquired a retail plaza in Middletown for $16.3 million.
