Having finished a $22 million, three-building apartment center on Broad Street this summer, city developer Robert Smith’s Metro Star Properties is starting construction of a $16 million two-building complex slated for nearby River Street this fall, he said Monday. Asbestos abatement continues and demolition will begin of an old downtown shopping center in October at 44-64 River St. Smith, a lifetime resident of Milford and third generation real estate developer and construction company owner, is bullish on downtown Milford and his and other investments made there through the years. The 44-64 River St. apartment project initially consisted of one 61,928-square-foot mixed-use building, approved in 2021, but the Planning and Zoning Board agreed in February to split the 50 apartments between two buildings.
