New Tenants for the 700 Block of Main
The 700 Block of Main Street is gaining two ground-floor retail tenants bringing more activity to what has been a sleepy block. Avalon Development has signed the first leases at its renovation project at 731 Main Street- the Swan Building.
Document Advantage, a copying, scanning, printing and design firm, is expanding and relocating from the Stokes Seeds Building next door, a previous Avalon Development renovation project. Hair-2-Go Naturally, a salon and spa, is relocating from Allen Street. Both tenants are leasing approximately 2,000 sq.ft. of space and are expected to be moving in this weekend.
The faAade of the Swan Building features new terra-cotta cladding, dark bronze aluminum windows and doors, and art glazed transoms. According to Chris Jacobs, head of Avalon Development, 731 Main may be the first new terra cotta building downtown in over 30 years. The remainder of the building is approximately 5,000 sq.ft. of loft-like space featuring high ceilings, exposed brick walls and on-site parking. The space can be leased to one tenant or subdivided. There is also a full basement with high ceilings and exposed brick.
Earlier this month, martini bar Blue Mirage opened in the 700 block taking the commercial space at The Sidway apartments and lofts development.

Johnson owns and operates Vilardo Printing at 326 Connecticut Street and since she took over the business in 2001, she has started rescuing stray and abandoned cats. For Johnson, it started out as one cat, but then it became two, then four, and well, as Johnson puts it, “you know how it goes. There were always cats around the city and when you take in one cat, you always have a gazilli … - Today, 2:30am

Museum's Attic
If you're into science and you're looking to support the Museum of Science, then you don't want to miss this awesome event. Actually, the Museum of Science has been hosting a series of unique gatherings in recent years, but it is the Museum's Attic that actually gets you into places that not many people will ever get the chance to see. The museum's collection is so vast, that at any given time there is a fraction of items showing to the public. Even when exhibits rotate, that only … - Yesterday, 8:38pm

A courageous move with the four year Main Street reconstruction project slated to begin right outside their doors. Good luck to them

I would love to see a retailer take over the remaining space to mix up the businesses already available on this block.

In light of the Main St reconstruction project, do the businesses that are moving here as well as the ones next door in the Seeds and Stokes Building have Washington Street access?

John- Yes, both buildings have rear access from Washington and those all too coveted parking spaces. I should also have mentioned that there are 145 residential units on this block in the Ansonia, Spaulding and Sidway buildings, and hopefully more on the way across the street at the Schmidt and Vernor building sites.

The total project schedule for cars on Main is 4 years. No individual block will be worked on for more than one construction season. The 700 block is the simplest block and would certainly take no more than a summer.
