Westport, CT The real estate team of Bross Chingas Bross, has been selected to exclusively manage sales at The Mill, a community of 31 condominiums that blends the architecture of a former candlewick mill with modern industrial features. Bross Chingas Bross, the team led by Barbara Bross, Alexander Chingas and Doug Bross, are affiliated with the Coldwell Banker Realty Global Luxury.
The Mill is a joint venture between Coastal Luxury Homes and the Gault Family Companies, which have developed residential communities in both Fairfield County and Sarasota, Fla. The Mill’s architectural and design team includes Marybeth Woods, Bruce Beinfield, Philip Hazan, Bill Kenny, Philip Cerrone and Richard Redniss.
“Westport is among the most highly-desired locations in America,” said Doug Bross. “This coastal community, just one hour from Manhattan, is known for beautiful beaches, a vibrant downtown and significant history. The area offers predominantly single-family residences with very few high-end, luxury condominium lifestyle options. The Mill represents a unique, first-of-its-kind opportunity for those seeking access to all Westport has to offer and a maintenance-free lifestyle with flawless design and five-star amenities.”
Originally a timber mill in the early 1800s, the brick, stone and heavy timber building has been utilized throughout the centuries as a factory, office space and even a studio once used by members of the arts community. In preparing the structure for its new life as residential space, the building is being restored to its pre-20th century aesthetic. Residents will enjoy five-star accommodations including concierge service. There are extensive common areas, which include a great room, cafe, patio, rooftop deck, swimming pool, hot tub, and a health and wellness center. The Mill is located in a setting with landscaped grounds and is near dining, shops, outdoor concerts, a farmer’s market and the library, while beaches, golf and commuter routes including the train to Grand Central Terminal in New York City are all nearby.
“Location is everything. From the amazing downtown events like the Fine Arts Festival and concerts at The Levitt Pavilion to being steps away from some of the top eateries in town, residents at The Mill will enjoy the best of both worlds; a walkable neighborhood setting with access to all that Westport has to offer,” said Sam Gault, president, Gault Family Cos.
The Mill’s custom residences are available in two distinct styles—New Modern and Vintage Modern. The New Modern homes have an industrial feel, showcasing bright interiors with 12-foot floor-to-ceiling windows as well as steel and glass room dividers. The Vintage Modern residences offer urban loft style, with textured interiors that reveal each unit’s unique history. These features include exposed hemlock columns and beams, exposed steel brackets, whitewashed brick walls, wood-plank ceilings, stone lintels and brick corbels.
All units feature large windows, an open floor plan, light wood floors, a large waterfall-edged kitchen island, Sub Zero and Wolf appliances, a full-size washer and dryer, and up-to-date bathrooms with radiant heated primary bathroom floors. Many have linear gas fireplaces and several feature spacious patios or roof decks. Units are expected to be completed in early 2023.
“With exquisite architectural design and contemporary aesthetics, The Mill Westport will be a cut above in luxury design. Vast amenity spaces and turn-key living offer a unique residential experience in the heart of Westport,” said Joe Feinleib, principal, Coastal Luxury Homes.
“The sophisticated vision of Coastal Luxury Homes and the Gault Family Companies will exceed the expectations of discerning buyers who have been searching for this kind of luxurious lifestyle. The Mill was designed based on feedback received from our clientele who desire these amenities in Westport,” said Chingas. “We value the longstanding business relationships we have built with Joe Feinleib, Sam Gault and their teams. Bross Chingas Bross is enthusiastic about presenting The Mill to a local, regional, national and worldwide audience by leveraging our strategic partnerships and the resources of Coldwell Banker Global Luxury.”
