Overview

156-162 Franklin Ave presents a multi-unit retail complex with a mix of commercial uses, including a car wash, a mini-mart/grocery concept, a seafood restaurant, and an office component. The property includes natural gas heating and was recently improved with roof improvements, remodeled storefronts, and a repaved rear lot. An existing two-story office building is part of the overall mix, with the first floor offering an opportunity to expand and create a fifth retail space.

The property is described as a retail corridor just minutes from Hartford Hospital, with high visibility and strong foot traffic. Off-street parking is provided for both tenants and visitors. The complex is zoned MS-2, which supports mixed-use potential.

For prospective tenants or investors, the building’s established tenant mix and updated exterior presentation can support a range of retail, service, and office users. The current rent roll includes an office building at $7,000 per month, a mini-mart at $3,000 per month, a seafood restaurant at $3,000 per month, and a car wash at $3,000 per month. The first-floor office area also presents a straightforward path to additional retail inventory, subject to approval for the intended buildout.
