Phase 1B Begins

While work on Phase 1A continues, the construction of Phase 1B has begun. Phase 1B will consist of one mixed-use building located adjacent to the parking garage. The upper floors will be occupied by The Oaks on the Square (rental apartments), and the first floor will have commercial spaces. The building is planned to open in August 2013.

Construction of Phase 1B has begun; this building will be adjacent to the parking garage.

The realignment of Dog Lane is proceeding with utilities work continuing. Once finished, Dog Lane will intersect with Storrs Road (Route 195) north of its current intersection. The construction of the new sidewalks and curbing along the existing portion of Dog Lane is currently underway. Dog Lane remains closed to through traffic. Local traffic to businesses and residences may experience delays due to the on-going work.

The sidewalk in front of 9 Dog Lane is taking shape.

Interior work on the upper floors has progressed steadily while the exteriors are receiving finishing touches. Work on the parking garage is also continuing. Phase 1A, specifically the parking garage, 1 Dog Lane, and 9 Dog Lane, is set to open in mid-August.
