The Offering

A rare canvas for thoughtful development in northeast Connecticut.

00 Tolland Stage Road is a 83.12-acre, level, lightly wooded parcel zoned RDD — Connecticut’s Residential Design District — encouraging flexible site design across single-family, cluster, and special-permit development pathways.

With approximately 1,200 feet of state-road frontage on Route 74, secondary access from Buff Cap Road, and minutes-to-I-84 connectivity, the site offers the scale, visibility, and infrastructure positioning that institutional developers rarely find in one assemblage.

The result: multiple credible highest-and-best-use pathways for a single parcel — residential, hospitality, senior living, multi-family, or resort.

Development Vision

Explore Potential Development Pathways

Five conceptual scenarios illustrating how the 83-acre parcel can be positioned. Each is a starting point for diligence — not an approved plan.

Conceptual rendering for illustrative marketing purposes only. Buyer to perform independent due diligence regarding zoning, engineering, wetlands, approvals, utilities, and permitted uses.

Pathway A

Residential Community

Transform this 83-acre parcel into a thoughtfully designed single-family or cluster residential neighborhood that balances natural beauty with long-term development potential. RDD zoning encourages flexible site design that can preserve open space while delivering meaningful unit count.

  • Flexible site planning under RDD zoning
  • Potential for 40–60+ home sites depending on layout and wetland setbacks
  • Conservation subdivision design opportunities
  • Frontage on Route 74 with secondary access via Buff Cap Road

Pathway B

Hospitality / Hotel

Capitalize on direct Route 74 visibility and immediate proximity to I-84 Exit 69. The site’s scale, road frontage, and regional traffic patterns position it as a credible candidate for a destination hotel or extended-stay property serving UConn, Hartford-area commerce, and New England travel corridors.

  • Highway-adjacent location with strong vehicular exposure
  • Regional draw from UConn, Hartford, and Boston-bound travel
  • Site scale supports hotel + amenity programming
  • Special permit pathway under RDD framework

Pathway C

Luxury Apartments

Deliver a premium multi-family community on a parcel large enough to design with privacy, amenities, and natural buffers built in. With 1,200 feet of frontage and dual access points, the site supports a thoughtful luxury rental product targeting professionals, UConn faculty, and regional commuters.

  • Scale supports clubhouse, pool, and resident amenities
  • Natural buffers preserve a quiet residential feel
  • Strong rental demand from UConn and Hartford corridor
  • Multi-family pathway via special permit

Pathway D

Senior Living / Assisted Living

Connecticut’s aging demographics and limited modern senior housing inventory create real demand for purpose-built communities. The parcel’s level topography, natural setting, and Route 74 access make it a strong candidate for independent living, assisted living, or a continuum-of-care campus.

  • Suitable scale for independent + assisted living campus
  • Quiet, natural setting valued by senior residents
  • Special permit pathway for elderly / assisted living
  • Direct access for residents, families, and staff

Lean into the land. Wooded acreage, gentle topography, and natural water features support a destination experience — campground, glamping resort, sporting club, or wellness retreat — within easy reach of New York, Boston, and Hartford metro audiences.

  • Forested setting ideal for cabins, sites, and trails
  • Natural amenities: wooded buffers, scenic vistas
  • Special permit pathway for campground / resort use
  • Drive-to destination from major Northeast metros
