Situated on more than 45 beautiful square miles along the Thames River, the Town of Montville, Connecticut, is full of possibilities. Close to major cities, highways, and world-class resort casinos, Montville residents enjoy an ideal location with all the benefits of a small community, including an excellent education system. And with global connections, a skilled workforce, and plenty of room to develop, our local businesses thrive. The sites are served by public water and sewer.

The Town of Montville is at the epicenter of a regional housing surge. With Electric Boat (EB) maintaining a historic hiring pace and the regional economy expanding as a result, the demand for diverse housing has reached a critical level. Furthermore, our community, like most in the state, is aging. Modern, affordable, and comfortable housing is needed for Montville's seniors.

The recent BJH Market Analysis identifies a need for over 500+ new housing units in the near term to meet projected growth. In response, the Town, in coordination with the owner of 841 Route 32, seeks a Developer or Team of Developers to create a cohesive residential community. The primary objective is to maximize 55+ age-restricted housing opportunities with an affordable component on the Town-owned 911 Route 32 site, while integrating market-rate housing or commercial uses or a mixture of uses on the adjacent 841 Route 32 site. The town is flexible on the sale price of the land in consideration for the development, meeting its objective of maximizing quality, affordable age-restricted housing. Proposals for one or both parcels will be considered. However, it is preferred that both parcels be utilized to ensure access to the Town site. Site access to 911 Route 32 is only possible through 841 Route 32 parcel, as primary access is not possible through the Police Department property.
