Owners propose replacing Greenwich nursing home with 170-unit apartment building

The owners of a nursing home in Greenwich have filed a proposal through the state’s 8-30g affordable housing statute to turn the 215-bed facility into a 170-unit apartment building.

Mordechai Blass and Moshe Berstein, both of New York City, plan on razing Greenwich Woods Health Care Center, at 1165 King St., in Greenwich, to make way for a four-story apartment building that will provide 51 affordable units, per the state law, according to an application filed with the town.

The owners are doing business as Greenwich Woods Realty LLC and Eagleview Holdings LLC.

The parking on the 15.9-acre site would be increased from 119 spaces to 294 spaces.

The affordable units, which would be rented to residents making between 30% to 80% of the state’s median income, would be dispersed throughout the four floors as one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments.

The Greenwich Affordable Housing Trust Fund approved a $100,000 loan for the project, which includes amenities such as a theater, gym, indoor pool, pickleball courts, playground, walking paths and a roof deck, the application said.

The plan, which the town’s Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Agency has approved, includes renovating and improving two stormwater retention basins and moving and enlarging a wetlands area. It also proposes adding more than 400 trees to the property.

In December 2023, the town’s Planning and Zoning Commission gave a preliminary approval for the owners’ prior 8-30g proposal to build a five-story, 215-unit apartment building on the site, but a sewer agreement with Westchester County limited daily sewer discharge to 50,000 gallons per day until 2066, the application said.

To meet that requirement, the owners lowered the proposed number of apartment units to 170.

Last week, the commission, which has yet to schedule a public hearing on the latest plan, approved an unrelated plan to turn a 75-unit nursing home that is also on King Street into a 17-unit apartment building.
