A developer is looking to build a 170,000-square-foot industrial building on Day Hill Road where two underutilized professional buildings now stand.
Day Hill Road LLC and Salvatore Campofranco bought two properties at 415 and 425 Day Hill Road from the Real Group II LLC in April 2022 for $1.2 million.
The sites contain one vacant and one mostly vacant building. Agents for the developer said plans also call for the purchase of a vacant adjacent lot at 505 Day Hill Road. The two buildings will be demolished and a 170,300-square-foot warehouse built on the 20-acre site.
