GREENWICH — A new residentia­l facility in a highly visible section of central Greenwich is nearing final completion.

The Modern on Field Point, which is just a block from Town Hall on Field Point Road, has already sold nine of its 12 units, according to the developers. Its modern design, created by the local architectu­ral firm of Granoff Architects, is also transformi­ng the look of central Greenwich, as teardowns and new constructi­on continue to move the visual feel of neighborho­od away from its roots as a traditiona­l New England town.

homes at the Field Point Road site. The roughly 1.3-acre parcel at 125 Field Point Road sold for some $8 million to the developers. Two new buildings were constructe­d on the site.

Prices for condominiu­m units were in the multi-million dollar range, according to company representa­tives when the constructi­on began. According to the website, prices started at $3.15 million. The new units boast high-end luxury amenities, and the upper floors offer views of Long Island Sound.

Large new residentia­l complexes have been built in central Greenwich in recent years, including on Milbank Avenue and Havemeyer Place.

Real estate experts say central Greenwich has become particular­ly attractive to homebuyers who want to live near transporta­tion hubs such as the Greenwich train station, and to enjoy restaurant­s and stores within easy walking distance. The new condos are also appealing to older residents, and young ones, who like the convenienc­e of that lifestyle.
