Entering the Home Stretch

Construction of Phase 1A of Storrs Center continues with a goal of opening 1 Dog Lane and 9 Dog Lane in mid-August.  The Oaks on the Square (residential units on the upper floors) are nearing completion, while work on the commercial spaces progresses.  Sidewalks are being installed in front of both buildings.

One Dog Lane

Dog Lane remains closed to accommodate construction.  Dog Lane residents and visitors to Storrs Automotive (now open at 11 Dog Lane), Select Physical Therapy (now open in Suite 108 in 9 Dog Lane), and the businesses in 18 Dog Lane may continue to follow the detour (Storrs Road to Gurleyville Road to Bundy Lane to Dog Lane).

The realignment of Dog Lane is underway.

Dog Lane will intersect with Storrs Road to the north of its current intersection.

South of Dog Lane, work on the parking garage (also due to open in August) continues.  The garage will accommodate visitors to the downtown, employees of the new commercial establishments, and residents of The Oaks on the Square.

Adjacent to the parking garage, Phase 1B is just starting to take shape.  This next phase will consist of one mixed-use building, 1 Royce Circle, which will feature commercial uses on the first floor and residential units on the upper floors.  The residences will be part of The Oaks on the Square.  This building is expected to open in August 2013.

Phase 1B, a mixed-use building, will be adjacent to the parking garage.
