BROOKFIELD — The town’s new 108-unit, four-building luxury apartment complex called Overland Crossing is now leasing.
It is part of the Town of Brookfield’s recently approved transformative vision for the Town Center District. The Class A rental apartment community at 101 Laurel Hill Road features spacious studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartment homes with contemporary interiors. There are also designer finishes, open-concept layouts, gourmet kitchens with quartz countertops, and private balconies that extend living and entertaining space.
“Overland Crossing brings new life and energy to our downtown and is a bold step forward for Brookfield’s future. It redefines apartment living in Brookfield, offering a place where residents can relax, connect, and thrive.” said Greg Dembowski, Brookfield’s economic development director.
The project broke ground in May 2024 and will include elevators in the four residential buildings over below-grade parking garages.
There are such amenities as a sunset porch, lodge and coffee bar, fire pit, outdoor fireplace lounge, state-of-the-art fitness center, modern coworking lounge and landscaped walking paths. The community also offers secure, below-grade parking and walkable access to Brookfield’s revitalized Town Center district.
The town is experiencing a growth surge due to its revitalization efforts to work with companies looking to relocate or expand their business in town.
“Brookfield has experienced a higher than historical-average growth since potable water mains were installed along the Federal Road corridor about 15 years ago,” Dembowski told the Fairfield County Business Journal last year. “Since 2016, 705 housing units were built at 13 multi-housing developments all on Federal Road. This growth was accelerated with the revitalization plan that was created when the town wrote its 2015 Plan of Conservation and Development.”
That plan included zoning regulation changes that allowed for mixed use development, he added. “Along with the housing development came two new grocery stores, dozens of retail, medical, personal care and professional businesses, light manufacturing and restaurants,” he said.
