5-acre site on Norwalk’s Main Avenue tagged for development is listed for sale for $15M

The site of an approved residential and retail project at 280 Main Ave. in Norwalk, once planned to be a BJ’s Wholesale Club, has been listed for sale for $15 million. Despite the listing, Planning and Zoning Director Steve Kleppin said the site still has the Planning and Zoning Commission’s approval for development. That approval allows for the construction of a three two-story structures: a 19,000-square-foot retail space with 10 apartments above it; a 2,240-square-foot coffee shop; and a 2,200-square-foot restaurant, along with an electric vehicle charging station. “The owner can pull a permit to construct that development if they wish, or they can sell and someone else can propose a different project,” Kleppin said in an email Thursday. “If what they propose is a completely different project, they would probably have to start from scratch. If there were minor modifications, that might be a simpler process. Hard to say exactly without seeing what was proposed.”
