Pre-leasing has begun on the newest batch of luxury apartments in West Hartford Center.
A half dozen of the 21 upper-floor living units of The Landmark in West Hartford Center, 11 S. Main St., already have resident commitments, said Fawn Murray, of Hartford's Imagineers LLC, which manages the property and oversees leasing. Occupancy is set for May 1.
Connecticut oriental-rug retailer Abraham Kaoud and his family redeveloped a building next door to their store that was formerly a Masonic lodge into about 8,500 square feet of ground-level retail, topped with 17 one-bedroom and four townhome-style apartments in the other 35,500 square feet.
Financial adviser Charles H. Schwab has committed to relocating its offices from nearby 43 LaSalle Road in the center, to about 9,000 square feet of retail space fronting South Main, Murray said.
Shared amenities in the building are few — “The amenity is West Hartford Center,'' she said — but units are loaded with the usual luxe trappings for units that range from $2,000 for one-bedroom units to $3,500 for the two-bedroom, two-floor units.
All units have high ceilings, stone countertops, custom kitchen cabinetry and hardwood flooring, Murray said. Other in-unit features include washer-dryers, 24-hour maintenance, and an air-recycling system that prevents cooking odors from permeating the interior corridors.
Each unit is assigned one free parking slot in The Landmark's underground garage. Residents enter the garage via the town's municipal lot at the rear of the building.
Once open, The Landmark will add its apartment inventory to the 18 units in the 21 N. Main St. apartment building just blocks away that was developed last year by developer and former New England Patriot Niko Koutouvides and his brother.
Omaha Steaks' W. Htfd. shop
Nebraska fresh meats/gourmet foods retailer Omaha Steaks has opened a store in West Hartford Center, its second in Connecticut.
The 1,100-square-foot West Hartford store at 13 S. Main St. joins Omaha Steaks' South Windsor location in The Promenade Shops at Evergreen Walk. The 99-year-old chain said this is its 70th store in 26 states.
Omaha Steaks sells grain-fed beef and other gourmet foods, including pork, poultry and side dishes.
The Kaoud family is the West Hartford space's landlord.
New Britain retail space
A New Britain strip shopping center in the city's West End has 4,000 square feet of existing space, plus a free-standing “pad'' building site available for lease, brokers say.
The available space inside the 17,000- square-foot center at 972 W. Main St. is priced at $15 a square foot, according to listing broker Reno Properties Group LLC. It can be subdivided into 2,000-square-foot sections.
The lease for ground big enough to accommodate an 8,000-square-foot building starts at $75,000 annually, Reno Properties said.
Existing tenants include: Pocket Communications; State Farm Insurance; Concentra Health Services; Beauty Systems Group; and People's Choice Pizza.
$900K Enfield industrial listing
A 24,866-square-foot Enfield industrial-manufacturing building is on the market for lease or sale with a $900,000 pricetag, brokers say.
The 25-year-old building at 89 Moody Road is on 2.04 acres. Features include 800-amp power, five drive-in doors and one dock, according to listing broker Sentry Commercial. The structure can be subdivided to 3,045 square feet.
The lease rate is $4.50 a square foot.
