Long a force in Connecticut commercial real estate, developer Mark Greenberg is having a major impact on the town of Windsor, where he’s assembling a sports and retail complex.
Greenberg is part-owner of an 80-foot-tall sports dome that opened Dec. 1, at his roughly 150-acre property assemblage along Day Hill Road. The $11 million, 95,000-square-foot facility is attracting interest from teams and leagues across the Northeast. It serves as a practice facility for the Hartford Athletic professional soccer team.
The Day Hill Dome joins 12 fields of FastPitch Nation – a for-profit softball facility on Greenberg’s property. Last year, the 16,500-square-foot Dudleytown Brewing Co. debuted as one of several new tenants in Greenberg’s 106,568-square-foot commercial building at 1001 Day Hill Road.
And there’s plenty more to come. Greenberg is spearheading development of a $9 million, 90-room Microtel hotel at the sports complex, along with other potential residential projects on-site.
Greenberg, who lives in Litchfield, is also part of a team advancing plans for a 100,000-square-foot, 3,000-seat velodrome for indoor team-track cycling, with an attached 40,000-square-foot field house.
Meantime, he’s also eyeing a 150-unit apartment building at 1095 Day Hill Road, a property he owns within sight of the sports-centered development area.
Greenberg is also advancing plans for separate large-scale developments in various towns, including apartment complexes in Avon, Southbury and the Canton/Simsbury town line.
