The latest investment in West Hartford’s New Park Avenue corridor will create nearly 200 new homes between two housing developments. Both the Elmwood Lofts — a 117 unit mixed-use development at the former Puritan Furniture site — and The Jayden — a 70 unit mixed-use development at 579 New Park Ave. — have been given administrative approval to move forward, said Todd Dumais, West Hartford’s town planner. The Elmwood Lofts development was first announced in January of 2022 when the state awarded the project a nearly $1 million Brownfield Remediation grant to help clean the site. Dumais said the Elmwood Lofts received a second approval in June after developers, led by Sami Abunasra, refined their plans as they prepared construction-ready documents. Dumais said they decreased their total unit count from 150 to 117. The project will likely include 20 percent of its units as affordable housing.
