Greenwich Developer Proposes Apartment Building on Former Supermarket Parking Lot
A local developer in Greenwich is planning to transform a vacant supermarket parking lot into a nine-unit apartment building. The proposed four-story structure at 49 Brookside Drive would replace overflow parking from a nearby Acme store that closed last year. The half-acre site, currently zoned for parking, requires a zone change to allow residential use.
The building would consist of seven three-bedroom units and two two-bedroom units, with one unit designated as affordable housing to meet town requirements. The design includes private patios, shared roof decks, basement storage, and bike spots, aiming for modern living without overwhelming the site.
The project has sparked discussions about traffic and neighborhood feel, as locals might welcome more housing options in Greenwichs tight rental market. The structure would top out at 45 feet, leaving room for green space and including twenty-three parking spaces, mostly underground.
As the application heads to the Planning and Zoning Commission, public hearings are expected to shape whether this redevelopment gets the green light and helps revive the spot.
