922 Grand Ave, New Haven, CT 06511

Property Description

A Legacy Address Ready for Its Next Visionary. Rising with quiet confidence along the historic Grand Avenue commercial spine, 922 Grand Avenue stands as one of the city's most architecturally honest and socially resonant commercial buildings. A mid-century civic structure that has outlived trends and weathered cycles, it now emerges as a rare canvas for the next chapter of neighborhood innovation. Built in 1963 during a wave of community-minded construction across the Elm City, the 4,500-square-foot masonry building is an enduring example of New Haven's post-industrial commercial architecture: solid, straightforward, purpose-built. Constructed of concrete, cinder block, and brick, with a flat rubber roof, 12-foot wall heights, and a full 4,500-square-foot basement, the property was engineered for longevity, adaptability, and public use - traits that have allowed it to remain structurally intact for more than six decades. Its original use classification - Clubs/Lodges with a modern STORE/SHOP (MDL-94) designation - reflects its history as a gathering place, a service hub, and a point of local connectivity. The unfinished basement offers expansion potential. The property invites reinvention - fitness and wellness programs, neighborhood brewery, grocery store, performance spaces, coworking studios, nonprofit headquarters, boutique commercial concepts, retail and more possibility subject to city approval.
