A Manchester-based developer is proposing a 74-unit, mixed-income apartment building in Glastonbury that could be occupied in early 2024 if it gets approval from several town boards.
Developer Richard Hayes Jr., principal of Manchester/Hebron Avenue LLC, is proposing 74 multifamily units for the site at Manchester Road and Hebron Avenue, which is across the street from Buckingham Park and will be known as Buckingham Corners. The building will be five stories tall, according to Hinckley Allen partner Timothy Hollister, who represents Hayes.

The third denial by town officials for a developer who wants to build a controversial housing development off Turkey Hill Road in Orange took only one meeting.
The Town Plan & Zoning Commission on March 2 opened – and closed – discussion, then unanimously voted to reject a site plan application proposed by a team representing town resident Richard Meisenheimer, who wants to build 10 multifamily residential buildings and a single community building on a compilation of parcels on the 22.5-acre property that he owns.
A different proposal for the same property was the subject of strong opposition in 2018 and was ultimately denied by the Town Plan & Zoning Commission. The current plan for the multifamily development also faced vociferous disapproval from neighbors, who have argued the proposal is too dense for the area. The plan was denied in January 2020 by the Inland Wetlands and Water Courses Commission – a decision is currently being appealed.
