A 164-acre cluster of properties along Hopmeadow Street in Simsbury has sold for $6.25 million to a local developer planning a 120-room Holiday Inn Express as part of a broader mixed-use “Olympic village”-type development. According to deeds recorded Nov. 4, Adam Westhaver of Simsbury purchased five parcels from a limited liability company affiliated with industrial real estate firm Indus Realty. The parcels include 54.2 acres at 1503 Hopmeadow St., where Westhaver recently received town approval to build the hotel, which will be located just north of the International Skating Center of Connecticut. Westhaver also partially owns the roughly 95,000-square-foot skating complex, which hosts public skating and competitive events and serves as home ice for numerous youth and high school hockey teams. In addition to the hotel, Westhaver plans to develop the 1503 Hopmeadow St. property with athletics-oriented businesses, restaurants, retail and other uses that complement the neighboring skating center. He envisions a network of trails connecting “New England village”-style buildings.
