Proposed Hotel Property Sells for $8.7 Million

The downtown property where a 40-room hotel has been proposed sold this month for $8.7 million, according to a property transfer recorded July 2 in the Town Clerk’s office. Already identified as the “contractor purchaser” of 39 and 49-51 Locust Ave., the new ownership company—called Two Corners LLC—is headed by New Canaan resident Elliott Siderides. He’s the founder and president of New Canaan-based Windward Development, Inc., which is behind the hotel proposal. In appearing before the Planning & Zoning Commission in May founder and president of New Canaan-based Windward Development, Inc. alongside his two sons—John Siderides, Windward’s in-house architect, and Andrew Siderides, Windward’s head of development and construction management—Elliott Siderides detailed the proposed adaptive reuse of brick-exterior commercial buildings on Locust, including one that formerly housed the Board of Education and, temporarily, the New Canaan Police Department. During the hearing, he said that the extended-stay portion of the hotel is designed to serve “people who are visiting their elders at Waveny for a week…people who want their own place, coming back to visit their kids for a month… business owners who may come into town for a week because of remote capabilities,” he said. 

“The typical room has two bedrooms with a kitchen and a living room and/or flex rooms that can create a more expanded living situation,” Siderides told P&Z at the hearing.
