131 Darlin St East Hartford, CT 6108

This property presents a rare opportunity for experienced gas station operators seeking immediate income with strong upside potential. The site is located directly next to major highway entrance and exit ramps, providing constant exposure, easy access, and heavy daily traffic. The property includes a canopy with 4 pumps, a large convenience store, and auto repair bays. Additional revenue streams are available through U-Haul rentals and vehicle sales. There is also additional space suitable for truck parking or service expansion. Located within a busy office park and highly visible from the highway, the property benefits from steady commuter flow, commercial traffic, and proximity to multiple auto dealerships. These dealerships create opportunities for repair referrals, fleet work, and long-term partnerships. Significant upside is driven by nearby redevelopment. East Hartford's riverfront is undergoing a major transformation with the Port Eastside project at the former Founders Plaza. This planned, phased development is expected to bring approximately 1,000 residential units and over 400,000 square feet of retail, dining, and entertainment space, as well as new pedestrian connections to Hartford. This will substantially increase density, traffic, and demand in the area. The property is ideal for operators looking to expand a convenience store, restart or grow auto repair services, scale U-Haul and fleet services, or capitalize on rising residential and commuter activity. The bike score is 50, indicating it is bikeable, and the walk score is 62, indicating it is somewhat walkable.
