Avison Young is pleased to present the prime opportunity to acquire a vacant former Sears box at 850 Hartford Turnpike (I-85) in Waterford, CT (“The Property”). The Property consists of a 155,906± square foot structure located on 10.63± acres that is a separately owned parcel attached to the 800,000 SF Crystal Mall. The Property and Crystal Mall have been identified by the Town of Waterford as a redevelopment opportunity with attractive scale and accessibility to the region’s major thoroughfares of I-395 and I-95. The existing structure could be easily re-tenanted for another retail use or the entire site could be fully reimagined to include a mix of apartments, senior living, hotel, entertainment, structured parking or others options proposed by developers. The asset offers an unprecedented opportunity to be a part of a large-scale redevelopment and “place-making” in a business-friendly municipality that will complement the thriving community.
The Property’s C-R zoning designation provides developers with many options as it allows for a wide variety of uses as of right such as shopping centers, restaurants, retail, hotels; as well as special permit uses such as service stations, health spa, and gyms. Located within 20 miles of Mohegan Sun, Mystic Aquarium, and the Groton- New London Airport, the Property offers access to many attractions that draw from the surrounding areas (Groton and New London contribute 100,000 residents within a 20-mile radius) but also make it the perfect location for additional retail/entertainment.
In addition, the Property is a prime candidate for a rezoning, as the Planning and Zoning Department of Waterford has been vocal about the site being one of the highest priority redevelopments in town.
