New Haven developer Choni “Johnny” Grunblatt wants to build 69 apartment units as part of a $10 million remake of Colony Street. Grunblatt is seeking to build studio apartments in five buildings alongside Railroad Avenue in what officials hope will spark more investment for the city’s transit-oriented district. The construction value of the project is $10 million. The project was discussed at Tuesday’s meeting of the City Council’s Economic Development Housing and Zoning Committee. Partner Jonathan Perlich and Grunblatt also purchased the 19th-century, mostly vacant, four-story commercial and residential building near the corner of East Main and Pratt streets for $1.75 million in November. The partnership is doing business as Seventies on Main LLC on that project. Grunblatt is the founder of Upside Construction LLC, Clarity Management LLC, Malbec Enterprises LLC and owner of Fin and Scale —Sushi and Bar.
