Almost Ready for Residents

Construction of Phase 1A is nearly complete.  Work continues on the individual commercial spaces, the parking garage, and the sidewalks in front of the buildings.  The new section of Dog Lane, which will frame the north side of the future Town Square is completed but not yet open to general vehicular traffic (construction vehicles and the incoming businesses may use the road for construction purposes).

The original section of Dog Lane is now open to traffic.

The Oaks on the Square, the residential spaces on the upper floors of One Dog Lane and Nine Dog Lane will be opening soon to the first residents.  The Oaks staff is busy readying each apartment for the residents who will begin moving in next week.

One Dog Lane features The Oaks on the Square on the upper floors
and commercial spaces on the first floor.

Storrs Automotive and Select Physical Therapy will soon have some new neighbors in Nine Dog Lane.  Head Husky Barber Styling Shop (formerly Skora's), Connecticut Travel Planners, Body Language, Bank of America, and Sweet Emotions Candy are all hard at work readying their new spaces with a goal of opening by the end of the month.


Commercial tenants in Nine Dog Lane, including the Bank of America and
Sweet Emotions Candy, are readying their  new locations.

One Dog Lane and Nine Dog Lane will soon be open to residents.

While construction of Phase 1A is winding down, construction of Phase 1B is picking up.  The steel supports for One Royce Circle, which will be adjacent to the parking garage, are being erected now, and framing of the upper floors will begin shortly thereafter.  One Royce Circle will be a mixed-use building with commercial spaces on the first floor and additional units of The Oaks on the Square on the upper floors.

One Royce Circle is under construction on the south side of Dog Lane
(view above is from the south on Storrs Road).
