The 150,000 sq. ft. shopping center in Downtown New Britain at the intersection of Routes 71 and 74 directly across from the new Beehive Bridge offers much excitement for the future plans of the site. 

​

In a recent discussion, city officials and New Brite Plaza owners laid out preliminary plans for a mixed-use residential development that can help restore the urban streetscape by connecting two of the city’s most popular destinations: Downtown and Little Poland.

​

 

Plans for the redevelopment include office space, a fitness center, residential space, and restaurant space. The plaza would be constructed into four separate buildings, allowing for pedestrian traffic flow easy access from the downtown and Little Poland areas.
