From city Communications Director Brett Broesder:

Mayor Bill Finch, Coleman Street Developers, State Representative Christopher Rosario, City Council members, and the community celebrated the grand opening of Greenport Flats, a new eco-friendly housing complex featuring 39 apartments. Coleman Street Developers revitalized the former site of an abandoned, run down building in Bridgeport’s Hollow neighborhood.


Located at 62 Coleman Street, this $5 million project was developed by Coleman Street Developers, a subsidiary of Caritas Capital Partners, who transformed the 42,100-square-foot building into modern one- to four-bedroom apartments.

““Bridgeport is getting better every day by creating jobs, growing our economy, improving our downtown and waterfront, building new parks and schools, and developing high-quality housing options for residents,” said Mayor Finch. “We’re also making our city more business and family friendly by revitalizing run down properties, which is exactly what GreenPort Flats has done on Coleman Street.”

Greenport Flats will offer three different floor plans and has one to four-room units that will be available for rent with prices ranging from $850 – $2,400. With the size of some of the apartments mixed with their competitive prices, Coleman Street Developers, LLC is looking to attract a variety of potential residents to their property.

“As a Bridgeport area small business, we are proud to announce our latest groundbreaking development, Greenport Flats,” said Caritas Capital Partners CEO and President Rafael Sanz. “It’s unlike any other product in the market today offering residents high quality finishes and a modern, eco-friendly living space. We are committed to improving our neighborhoods and work with our tenants to fulfill community needs, such as facilitating the set up of a neighborhood watch. We thank our local partners, some who have been here in Bridgeport for more than 25 years, for their work in making this project come to fruition.”

Another attractive quality of this housing complex is its yard/green area. Many of the apartments will have a beautiful view of green grass, a massive magnolia tree, and gardening plots that will be open for renting for residents with a green thumb, with Greenport Flats’ courtyard area.

The property was originally a mansion built in 1890 and later expanded to a nursing home in 1957. It was last used as a 142-bed convalescent home called Golden Hill, prior to being acquired by Coleman Street Developers, LLC.

    1. Ron, I was actually too busy eating the amazing brick oven pizza. I will say the architect did an amazing job. The apartments are appointed beautifully and I hope they are able to market them to individuals who can have a positive impact on the neighborhood. This is a win for the city and we should all be hopeful. It certainly is an excellent location for commuters. Good luck!!!

      1. Please share your secret of staying so fit. I gain two pounds every time I read about the food in your posts. Also, do you know about great restaurant discounts you could share?

        1. Last night was Vietnamese. Dinner tonight was Teppanyaki Buffet and I just got a small pie at San Remo. Fit? I work out at Planet Fitness and I have gotten a little porky. Need to drop 20 lbs.
          I need to stop eating around the clock. 🙂
          Jeniffer, actually Groupon for Sunday brunch at Barnum Pub is excellent and many times I use Restaurant.com certificates I get at an outrageous deal.

  1. I actually thought I’d see Bob Halstead and John Marshall Lee since they had posted on the original press release a month ago. It had a nice turnout!

  2. I like what was done to the building, it seems to be very nice. Is it just me or is $2400 a month for a four-bedroom apartment a bit expensive? This is on Coleman St., isn’t it?

    1. Yes it is, Donald, you can be sure section 8 will turn that huge beautifully appointed apartment affordable to the tenant at $400 a month $2000 from the government. Hopefully it will attract working-class people.
