A public hearing on a proposal to convert a 10-story, 240-room Crowne Plaza Hotel in Danbury into 198 apartments has been reset to the middle of next week.

The plan, which was originally scheduled to go before the Planning and Zoning Commission on March 5, also includes building a 20,000-square-foot makerspace and a 6,000-square-foot restaurant, according to an application filed with the city.

The proposal also calls for a 4,000-square-foot arcade coffee shop, art gallery, gymnasium, outdoor patios and sports courts, walkways and exterior landscaping.

The development, at 18 Old Ridgebury Road, is being proposed by Danbury-based BRT Properties, doing business as Bright Ravens IS Danbury LLC. That limited liability company purchased property in November 2021 for $8 million, property records show. 

The redeveloped site would have 24,451 square feet of interior space, 121,739 square feet of open space and 383 parking spaces.

“The existing building height, building coverage and impervious coverage would remain unchanged,” the application stated.

The development, which covers 7.24 acres, would take six months to nine months to complete.
