Project Overview

The development at 18 Utica Street is a new mixed-use development providing a much-needed contemporary housing option and additional commercial space in the village core.  The project will be built on an approximately one-acre site located mid-block between Utica Street and Madison Street.  The building will be four stories.  There will be 41 residential rental apartments with related amenities and services located on floors 2-4.  On the first floor, there will be a lobby entry, retail, office, and commercial space, 37 parking spaces, and a small at-grade garage.  There will be a new public courtyard on the east side of the building creating a pedestrian connection between Utica and Madison Street.  The project is designed to add to the vitality and charm of the historic village.
