Prime Development Site – 13.4 Acres in Strategic Growth Corridor
This 13.4-acre parcel, located at 231 Gungywamp Road, Groton, CT, offers a rare opportunity for large-scale residential or mixed-use development in one of Southeastern Connecticut’s fastest-growing zones. The site includes an existing 30,000 sq ft building with infrastructure in place, and is currently zoned RU-20, with active discussions in progress with the City of Groton for rezoning to allow multifamily buildings up to 6 stories.
The property sits just 2 minutes from a newly completed 300-unit multifamily development, confirming the city’s readiness for high-density housing — especially as Electric Boat’s expansion drives significant workforce demand. It also benefits from direct access to I-95, 10 minutes to Mystic, 10 minutes to Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods Casinos, and proximity to schools, grocery stores, and retail plazas.
