Washington Trust's Commercial Real Estate Group recently provided a $6 million line of credit to Main Street Homes-Storrs, LLC for the construction of 42 condominium units in Storrs, CT.
This more than 4-acre property benefits from its walking proximity to the main campus of the University of Connecticut, one of the most prestigious public universities in the nation.
The condominiums to be built on the property include 32 residential townhomes within eight separate buildings as well as 10 single level flats located within a 3-story mid-rise building. The average size for each unit is 1,510 square-feet, each elegantly appointed with open floor plans, 9-foot ceilings, wall-to-wall carpet, gas fireplaces, premium cabinetry and countertops and stainless steel appliances. Additional, on-site amenities will include a 720 square-foot community center for entertainment and events, parking garages and walking trails.
The property is located adjacent to the main campus of the University of Connecticut as well as to the vibrant Storrs Center, a new Main Street, town square style neighborhood featuring cafés, restaurants and shopping.
"What is happening in Storrs in and around UConn is extremely exciting," said Julia Anne M. Slom, Senior Vice President & Team Leader of Washington Trust's Commercial Real Estate Group. "The development of housing, retail and other amenities fills a strong gap in that market. These homes are a further enhancement and will be eagerly received. We are excited to do more with this client, LeylandAlliance."
Main Street Homes-Storrs, LLC is owned by LeylandAlliance, LLC, a real estate development company focused on the creation of mixed-use, highly sustainable neighborhoods founded upon the principles of New Urbanism.
