Downtown Meriden’s black box theater project also adds housing, possibly restaurants

The proposed 7th House Music Theater at 143 W. Main St. is in the final stages of financing with a bond closing expected later this week, said Robert Cappelletti, executive director of the Meriden Housing Authority. The Meriden Housing Authority and its development arm the Maynard Road Corp. has site plan approval to build the 55,000-square-foot mixed use commercial development and is now waiting for the building department to give it the green light to begin construction. If approved, construction will last 18 months. The theater has generated interest with local and statewide music promoters and radio stations and expects to book 80 acts a year. City Manager Brian Daniels informed city council the venue is one of two downtown projects that will significantly change the transit-oriented district and can be built in about 18 months. The Colony Project is developing six lots along Colony Street to market a lifestyle center to Millenials who want to take advantage of living near the train station.
