New Haven-based RJ Development + Advisors LLC are expected to break ground on a 251-unit complex by early next year at the latest, said Felix Reyes, the city’s director of planning and economic development. The complex, one of two scheduled to be built by RJ Development in Fort Trumbull, is slated to rise off Chelsea Street next to the U.S. Coast Guard’s Research & Development Center and not far from the city’s new community center. The building will include 44 studio, 136 one-bedroom and 71 two-bedroom market-rate units, and 234 parking spaces, according to project planning documents. The City Council in 2024 approved nearly $6.5 million in tax breaks over 20 years for the two apartment projects. The fixed tax agreement with RJ Development would offset about half the $13 million in estimated pre-construction costs needed to meet flood plain, remediation and other sub-surface issues at the two sites.
