Summary, model-written
Union Square in Enfield, CT, is a proposed redevelopment of a former theater/community center site (1.78 acres). Approved by Enfield Planning Commission in 2023, it plans 70 rental apartments with a clubhouse, fitness center, and supportive housing space. Developer Impact Residential Development holds the project. Status is 'proposed'—no construction timeline provided. The site is within 10km of three other developments: Enfield Square (unknown status), Windsor Locks TOD (proposed), and 255 Main St. (under construction). The record notes it is 'already in play' (approved/under development), and housing is confirmed in the new use. No construction start date or completion date is listed. Contextual peers include similar CT redevelopments within 8km.
