New Canaan, CT According to Avison Young, its Fairfield/Westchester office has been named the exclusive leasing agent for the newly unveiled New Canaan Medical Arts Center at 23 Vitti St. The property is being developed by CH Vitti Street Associates, LLC, an affiliate of New Canaan-based national real estate investor Cambridge Hanover, and Collins Enterprises of Greenwich.

Avison Young principal Sean McDonnell and associate Eva Kornreich, will market the new development, which will commence construction this month and is projected to be complete in the spring of 2018. Do H. Chung & Partners is the project architect.

The new, two-story, 9,000 s/f medical center will be constructed along the parcel’s 121 feet of frontage, with a public courtyard along Vitti St. for the use of patients and the community.
