The Residences at Quarry Walk II Oxford, CT

The Residences at Quarry Walk was built on the grounds of a quarry, creating an innovative concept not seen before. The natural stone serves as a key design feature and is incorporated throughout the property. From the initial quarry state, Haynes Development built Quarry Walk, a "live, work, play and dine community" with over 300,000SF of best-in-class retail, healthcare, dining and luxury living. Residents at The Residences at Quarry Walk have access to all Quarry Walk has to offer, including the quintessential New England town green. Center Rock Green serves as a central place for community events, showcasing a modern day ‘downtown’ flanked by boutiques, retail and service businesses. Healthy living is a key part of the experience at The Residences at Quarry Walk. A 1.1 mile walking trail allows residents an opportunity to enjoy nature, surrounded by stone and dramatic valley views. Premium amenities such as a fitness center, Rooftop Terrace, bocce court, Clubhouse with outdoor grilling kitchens, a playground and a bark park, give residents all they need to enjoy a healthy lifestyle. The Residences at Quarry Walk serves a key need for housing in the Oxford area. As residents support the businesses at Quarry Walk, the built-in customer base has made businesses successful at Quarry Walk, generating over $1 million in tax revenue for the town of Oxford. Early on, opposition to high density housing was rampant and illustrated ideas of the past which were shocking to uncover; not wanting to allow opportunity for people of different races, religions and lifestyle to be allowed. Haynes Development fought through this and won. The Residences at Quarry Walk now offers an accepting home to people from all walks of life and backgrounds. Alongside the challenges of local sentiment were requirements of constructing 100,000SF of commercial space before residential units could be built. A devasting fire during the first phase of construction also brought challenges as leasing was impacted. The Residences at Quarry Walk II is now a stabilized property. A quick five-month lease-up at launch in 2023 speaks to the success of the project by delivering in-demand residential units.
