A Toronto-based real estate investment firm plans to convert the Residence Inn in Shelton into 96 apartments, according to an application filed with the city.
Bluevale Capital, doing business as CT03 LLC, would change the use of the hotel property at 1001 Bridgeport Ave., which was built in 1988, to multifamily housing without making any modifications to it. The 4.44-acre property consists of 14 buildings containing a total of 60,032 square feet, according to property records.
“Other than some additional parking, there are no changes to the existing extended-stay hotel site or buildings,” the application stated.
Bill Purcell, president of the Greater Valley Chamber of Commerce, identified Blue Vale Capital as the parent company of CT03 LLC, in a letter supporting the conversion.
“Bluevale Capital has a proven track record revitalizing and repurposing underperforming hotel properties into thriving residential communities,” he said.
Bluevale Capital also has corporate offices in New Haven.
The company is under contract to purchase the property from Grand Prix Shelton LLC, the application said. Grand Prix Shelton is controlled by William Rumble, Paul Womble and Rickey Whitworth, all of Irving, Texas, state records show. They bought the property in 2007.
The application said that 18% of the 96 units would be designated as affordable housing under the state’s 8-30g affordable housing statute. The property would have 116 parking spaces.
The city’s Planning and Zoning Commission is scheduled to review the application on Wednesday.
