Proposed redevelopment of American Can's 154-acre office park campus in Greenwich, CT, to 309 housing units (townhomes and 12-unit apartments across 55 buildings).
Why. Approved by Greenwich Planning and Zoning Committee (PZC); zoning change proposed via text amendment. Greenwich Housing Trust provides public subsidy.

- Housing units align with local strategy (recorded as 'housing' in new_use).
For a developer
- No construction start date or cost data in record.
- Public subsidy (Greenwich Housing Trust) may reduce risk.
- No timeline for final approval or build-out.
