NEW CANAAN – The historic Roger Sherman Inn is now under the ownership of Broadfield Realty Capital owner Uanderson Benedetti following a $3.7 million purchase from Jaffre Real Estate LLC on July 14, according to town property records.
195 Oenoke Ridge LLC, for which Benedetti is principal, purchased the 1740 inn named after Colonial Connecticut statesman Roger Sherman. He was the only person to have signed all four of the most significant documents in our nation’s early history: the Continental Association from the first Continental Congress, the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the United States Constitution.
The property had been owned by Jaffre Real Estate since 2008, when it bought the inn from Roger Sherman Inn at Oenoke Ridge LLC for $3.41 million. Jaffre Real Estate is run by Nes Jaffre and Michael Sedita, who have run the inn for the past 17 years.
The inn property has been appraised by the town for $4.4 million in 2023.
Benedetti, a longtime New Canaan resident and his wife, Brianna, told Newcanaanite they’re looking to update the property while preserving its history. Benedetti said he and his wife, “want the property to be a gathering spot for everyone in New Canaan, and even all of Connecticut and Northern Westchester.”
Benedetti said that within 90 days, there will be “noticeable differences at the Roger Sherman.”
Benedetti is a seasoned commercial real estate professional with a proven track record of success in both development and finance. With over a decade of experience in the industry, Uanderson has established himself as a investor and strategic leader.
Prior to founding Broadfield Realty Capital, Uanderson held key roles at several prominent real estate firms. As Managing Director at Millbrook Realty Capital, he focused on originating and structuring short-term bridge loans on multifamily, mixed-use, and commercial assets across the country.
