Demolition of the vacant, severely blighted former Red Lion Inn at the intersection of Berlin Road and the northbound entrance ramp to Interstate 91 should begin “roughly” in the spring — possibly earlier if weather and financial markets permit. That’s what Chris Riley, the president of Lexington Partners LLC, the development company for the project, has told town officials about its timing. The goal is to replace the dilapidated hotel building with at least 274 housing units, related amenities and some 30,000 square feet of commercial space, in an attractive new complex. When construction of the new complex finally starts, it is expected to take 24 to 28 months, depending on the severity of winter weather during that period, Alter told the council. Those figures would put the expected completion date of the project sometime in 2027.
