A Missouri-based company is proposing a 521,886-square-foot warehouse in Bloomfield on property that a construction company now uses for equipment storage and material stockpiling.
NorthPoint Development LLC has applied for a special permit that would allow it construct the warehouse, with 118 loading docks, 206 trailer parking spaces and 361 car parking spaces.
It would sit along West Dudley Town Road, in the town’s industrial section, on roughly 56 acres.
Northpoint, headquartered in Kansas City, submitted the application for a special permit on March 1. It previously received approval from the Inland Wetlands Commission.
A public hearing is set for 7 p.m. Thursday before the town’s Planning and Zoning Commission. It wasn’t immediately clear if a tenant has been signed to occupy the proposed building.Â
The property, 60-116 West Dudley Town Road, is owned by CT Valley Properties III LLC, an affiliate of Windsor-based Butler Company. A 15,750-square-foot building that sits on the property would be demolished.
Bloomfield’s director of building and land use, Justin LaFountain, said NorthPoint Development has told town officials it does not have a specific tenant for the warehouse yet.
In 2017, Butler proposed to build a new headquarters for itself on the property, along with a construction storage yard. The Planning and Zoning Commission approved the plan.Â
However, the town issued a cease-and-desist order after finding that the company was using the property for outside parking, storage and material processing before receiving a building permit.
Butler appealed in Superior Court and reached a settlement agreement with the town.
NorthPoint Development, a privately held real estate development firm specializing in industrial and multi-family development, is also moving forward with a nearly 750,000-square-foot distribution center inside Windsor’s Great Pond Village mixed-use development.
