An Avon developer is proposing to build 318 apartments just a few blocks from the Connecticut River, a project that could become one of the biggest residential developments in East Windsor in recent memory. The River Pointe project off Bridge Street would include six four-story apartment buildings, each one totalling just under 62,000 square feet. In addition, developer Robert Trigg’s NRT Realty LLC plans about 11,000 square feet of new retail space, including a roughly 2,500-square-foot restaurant. The site is largely an unused agricultural field, and plans show two houses, barns, a large shed and a greenhouse would be removed before construction begins. J.B. Russo & Associates is doing the engineering work for NRT Realty.
