The New York developer planning to build 172 apartments on the former site of the Children’s Museum in West Hartford recently paid $10.57 million for the property, as well as a small portion of the neighboring Kingswood Oxford School site. Developer Continental Properties bought the 3.96 acres from the Kingswood Oxford School – which has owned the museum property at 950 Trout Brook Drive since 2001 — in a deal recorded by the town on Feb. 2. Continental Properties is among the largest developers of Class A rental communities in the Tri-State area, according to Colliers. In Connecticut, Continental has developed communities in Rocky Hill, Glastonbury, South Windsor, Milford, Shelton and Trumbull. The bidding process for the site in 2021 was extremely competitive, according to Cafasso and Hunt.
