Work Starts On Housing Development On Farmington-Plainville Line

FARMINGTON, CT — Construction has begun on a development that will ultimately bring 61 units of 55-and-older housing to the Farmington-Plainville line.

It's the latest project in the area by Southington-based Newport Realty Group. Initial occupancy for one of four phases is targeted for this spring. Newport principals Tony Valenti and Mark Lovley said primary construction at the 25-acre Route 177 parcel began this week.

Valenti said the land is about half and half between Farmington and Plainville, but 23 units will be physically in Farmington and 38 are slated for Plainville with taxes paid to the towns in which each respective unit resides.

He said most of the first two phases are sold out, despite the model not even being built yet. Valenti said the foundation for the model should be placed early next week.

The construction schedule spreads out over more than two years:

• Phase 1: Plainville, two units remaining, June 2022 occupancy
• Phase 2: Plainville, sold out, September 2022 occupancy
• Phase 3: Plainville and Farmington, Summer 2023 occupancy
• Phase 4: Plainville and Farmington, 2023 into early 2024 occupancy

Prices start at $359,900.

According to project specifications the units will measure between 1,444 and 1,610 square feet with:
