The project, which is garnering opposition from nearby residents, is expected to be discussed during a planning and zoning meeting Jan. 25, and would convert vacant land on Farmington Avenue — across the street from Jackson Lab and behind a UConn Health building — into a 146-unit apartment development with 224 parking spaces, including garages. Full project details, including the overall development price tag, weren’t immediately available Friday morning. That land was put up for sale in 2018 by Farmington Avenue Baptist Church and was purchased at the end of 2019 for $1.1 million by prominent Farmington developer Geoffrey Sager of Metro Realty Group, which has been an active builder of medical office buildings in the area. Metro Realty Group is the project’s lead developer.
