What Will Be Built at Sackett & Elm? A Closer Look at the Plan
The Sackett & Elm Project brings up to 400 apartments, a grocery-anchored retail center, offices, a daycare, a town green, and trails around Bruce Pond to North Haven. Here is the breakdown.
A look at the Sackett & Elm village — apartments, retail, and gathering space in one place.
People want specifics, and the Sackett & Elm plan has them. Here is how the place comes together — building by building, use by use — and how it all works on a single connected site.
What Is the Residential Component?
On the residential side, the plan brings up to 400 new apartments spread across two multi-family buildings. These sit alongside the commercial core rather than off on their own, so residents are a short walk from the grocery store, the green, and the pond. It is housing built into a real neighborhood, not parked at the edge of a parking lot.
What Commercial Space Is Planned?
The commercial heart of the project is roughly 100,000 to 125,000 square feet of space, anchored by a grocery store. Around it: restaurants, retail shops, and service businesses, with second-floor office space above the ground-level retail. It is the everyday mix — the kind of businesses a community actually uses and wants to support.
| Component | What It Includes |
|---|---|
| Residential | Up to 400 apartments across two multi-family buildings |
| Grocery & Retail | Grocery-anchored center with restaurant, retail & service tenants |
| Office | Second-floor office space above ground-level retail |
| Daycare | On-site childcare for residents and the community |
| Town Green | Central gathering space for events and everyday use |
| Open Space | Bruce Pond–oriented trails, boardwalk & landscaped seating |
| Parking & Access | On-site parking; access from Sackett Point Rd & Elm St |
What Ties It All Together?
The connective tissue is what makes a development feel like a place. The plan centers on a town green for events and everyday gathering, an on-site daycare, walking trails and a boardwalk along Bruce Pond, landscaped seating, and on-site parking with access from Sackett Point Road and Elm Street. The goal is walkable streets where people move easily between home, shops, dining, and open space — without getting in the car for every errand.
One site, many reasons to be there. Live upstairs, shop at the grocery, grab dinner, drop the kids at daycare, walk the pond loop after work — the plan is built so a single trip can do the work of several.
