The $100 million redevelopment to turn the vacant former Red Lion Hotel at 100 Berlin Road into a multi-use complex called the Lord Cromwell featuring commercial businesses, living spaces, a high-end restaurant and more continues despite no apparent activity at the site. The goal is to replace the dilapidated building with at least 274 housing units, related amenities and some 30,000 square feet of retail space, Chris Reilly, the president of Lexington Partners in Hartford, told town officials in December. Attorney Peter Alter of Alter & Pearson in Glastonbury represents the developer. He told Town Council members at a meeting in October that demolition of the building and environmental cleanup of the site is expected to take a year. That portion is estimated to cost more than $4 million, he said. In December, Alter told officials that the anticipated completion date will be some time in 2027.
