Krohn, of New Britain’s Jasko Development, and Zelman, of West Hartford’s Zelman Real Estate, said in a recent interview that they’ve named the project The Residences at Wash Brook, after one of several nearby brooks at the 20-acre site located midway between Routes 178 and 218.
While the two partners have worked together in the past, including on a recently completed Jolley Drive medical building, Wash Brook is their first multifamily collaboration.
Fresh project renderings show a two-story atrium with a mezzanine just inside the entrance to the four-story building.
“It’s not a massive building, it has kind of a boutique hotel feel,” said Krohn, who has been one of New Britain’s more active developers in recent years.
