According to application materials submitted last month to the city’s Planning & Zoning Commission, which on Tuesday approved Dakota’s plan to subdivide 330 New Park Ave., located in the city’s Parkville neighborhood near the West Hartford border, into four lots. Dakota intends to buy the three southernmost lots — which total approximately 5 acres and consist mainly of parking lots — from their current owner, Diamond Properties. Dakota said it could not yet provide a cost estimate for the project, which will still need site plan approval before construction can begin. Earlier this year, Dakota and Xenolith Partners completed the first phase of an $80 million New Britain apartment project called Columbus Commons. Dakota had planned to break ground on a $32 million, 108-apartment development in Newington this year, but put that project on hold in May after failing to secure $2 million in tax credits.
