The Hamden developer who plans to covert the former Ames headquarters in Rocky Hill into a mixed-use residential community has purchased the property for $2.3 million, property records show.
Michael Belfonti of Belfonti Cos. said an LLC he controls – Rocky Hill Gateway LLC – closed on the property last month and remediation on the 12.1 acre site has already begun. The property includes a 225,000-square-foot building that will be knocked down and replaced with 213 apartments in 11 buildings, 5,000 square feet of office space and 15,000 square feet of retail.
