A Mixed-Use Development in the

Heart of Downtown

21 Forest Street Development - New Canaan, CT

Mixed Use

< Back

Completed for Gatto Development, this development project exemplifies the ideal mixed-use, smart growth plan. Since the development was to be located on vacant property in the heart of downtown New Canaan, Tecton needed to develop a strategic vision for the dense urban fabric. Zoning approval was especially important, as our conceptual design required - and received - a zone text amendment.
