West Hartford 1 LLC – which paid $2.75 million for the 57-acre campus along Asylum Avenue in 2021 – shared a plan in February mixing 492 apartments with retail, restaurants, a large medical office building and a grocery store. A new plan, which is scheduled for review by West Hartford’s Design Review Advisory Committee on Thursday, reduces the apartment number to 428, but adds 34 owner-occupied townhouse units and a 158-unit assisted living facility. That’s 620 residential units altogether. Public Relations firm Sullivan & LeShane issued a statement on behalf of West Hartford 1, saying the changes are in response to feedback from the town and residents living near the campus at 1700 and 1800 Asylum Ave. The plan also offers “enhanced buffering” of woodlands, wetlands and meadows, according to the release.
