Conveniently located one block from the downtown New Britain CT Fastrak station and minutes from routes 9 & 72, “The Brit” will bring 107 apartment units and 5,600 square feet of ground-floor retail and restaurant space to a significant corner of downtown New Britain that was formerly occupied by the vacant Burritt Bank Building. "The Brit," which will cater to young renters looking to engage in an urban lifestyle, puts a major emphasis on placemaking. Its ground-floor common areas amount to an “urban oasis” in the middle of downtown New Britain. Outdoor seating areas will line both Main St. and Bank St. along the front corner of the new building. A more sheltered, parklike courtyard will be nestled against the backside of the structure, enlivened by murals/street art and dramatic lighting. Features for tenants and guests will include ample outdoor seating, two bike racks, multiple BBQ grills, decorative awnings, hardscaping, four- and six-foot concrete planters, and park benches. Other ground-floor amenities include a pet spa, bike storage area and 700-square-foot fitness center, in addition to the commercially operated retail and/or food and beverage outlets. Located on the sixth floor of the building, the corner rooftop deck will be a place to see and be seen while taking in views of the city. Project completion is projected for the fall of 2024.
