Mixed-Use Development Takes Big Step In Guilford

GUILFORD, CT — Guilford's latest development has taken a big step.

Robert Sachs of Cherry Hill Construction, the developer of the Guilford Village West mixed-use project on a 91-acre parcel at 1940 Boston Post Road, confirmed with Patch on Tuesday that vertical construction on the residential housing portion began last week.

There will be 162 residential units included in the project along with amenity spaces. Leasing should start in early summer 2027, Sachs said.

Construction on the retail component is expected within the next two weeks, Sachs said.

Building permits for Starbucks and Chipotle have been secured, with Aldi, a grocery store with 35 locations currently in CT, expected to be finalized within the " next few months," Sachs noted.

A listing from JAZ Brokerage notes there is an additional 4,230 square feet of tenant space available, which can be subdivided if necessary, next to Aldi.
