A proposal to convert a former 75-bed, one-story nursing home in Greenwich into a 17-unit apartment building has received the green light.
Howard Ripps, of Greenwich, doing business as Laurelton Residences LLC, plans to renovate the former Regal Care of Greenwich nursing home, at 1188 King St., into Laurelton Residences, a one-story apartment building with nine, two-bedroom units and eight, one-bedroom units, according to an application filed with the town.
The two-bedroom units will range in size from 1,006 square feet to 1,267 square feet, while the one-bedroom apartments will be from 616 square feet to 889 square feet. Amenities will include a large central courtyard, recreation room, gym area, coworking space and bicycle storage.
The building will stay the same size at 29,548 square feet and maintain the same 36 parking spaces, the application showed.
The state has allowed nursing homes to be converted into apartments since October 2024. The town’s Planning and Zoning Commission approved the plan earlier this week.
Fairfield Health of Greenwich LLC, the nursing home’s former owner doing business as Regal Care of Greenwich, was evicted from the property and stopped having physical possession of it in November 2022, the application said.
The building has been vacant since it sustained significant damage from Hurricane Ida in September 2021.
