Bridgeport, CT – Viking Construction has entered the final construction phase of Wall Street Place, a $69 million, two-building, mixed-use project located within Norwalk’s historic arts and entertainment district. The project brings 155 mixed-income rental apartments as well as retail and restaurant space to this part of the city. Both buildings include one-, two- and three-bedroom flats along with two- and three-bedroom 2-story duplexes.
Wall Street Place sits on a two-acre parcel on the corners of Wall Street and Issacs Street, near the historic District Music Hall and the Norwalk Conservatory of the Arts. The Wall Street Place North building, located at 61 Wall Street, had been abandoned for nearly a decade after another redevelopment effort was halted. The Wall Street Place East building, located across Isaacs Street, was built on a vacant dirt lot which once was home to a movie theater.
The 6-story North building includes 105 rental units and a second-floor plaza with outdoor seating, grills and lighting. The ground floor and basement levels include nearly 26,000sf of retail space, a fitness studio, and 40 surface-level parking spaces. The East building includes two stories of 50 rental units above a 2.5-level, 157-space parking garage. The building features a rooftop terrace with seating, outdoor lighting, and a game area. Both buildings include common community rooms with kitchenettes, as well as laundry rooms. Each residential unit features quartz countertops, energy-efficient appliances and mechanicals, and vinyl plank flooring. Many of the units have Juliet balconies along Wall Street and Isaacs Street.

The exterior of each building is a mix of full-depth brick, thin brick, cast stone, fiber cement siding and metal siding. The street-level commercial spaces offer high ceilings and large panels of storefront glass. The landscaping includes tree-lined sidewalks, planters at entries, and plantings at the rear of the East building. Both buildings feature a mix of sconces, recessed and gooseneck lighting, and sidewalk lighting.
Renters are scheduled to begin moving into the new community this summer.
