Centerbrook is designing renovations and additions to the historic Bedford building in downtown Westport. Located on a prominent site at the corner of Main Street and Boston Post Road, the Bedford building currently houses the Westport YMCA, which is moving to a new facility.
The project involves demolishing additions to the original building and constructing a new mixed use complex, which includes restaurants, retail, office space, and townhouse condominiums. The complex would surround a piazza with pedestrian connections from the north, south, and west activating forgotten alleyways and transforming an existing pedestrian right-of-way into a lively pedestrian main street. The enlarged sidewalks and sunken courts provide views and access to lower level retail and sandwich shops. The condominiums will occupy the third floor and fourth floors and have gracious roof gardens to the southeast and trellis-lined rooftop decks to the west, overlooking the piazza. Resident parking would be provided below grade.
