Easton’s Commodore Building adds upscale housing and dining
The local project that has taken longer than expected has finally reached a milestone moment and is ready for it’s next exciting steps.
“It’s a really tricky time right now for everybody,”
said Garett Vassel,
president of Optima Durant Group.
“We had some challenges with our former steel contractor and there was actually a bankruptcy with the sub contractors.”
They can move forward on the seven-story building.
“This is everything to me, it’s everything to the project,”
Vassel said.
“With this building closing up, now it’s a completely different trajectory for this project. Now people can start working late.
“You have 32 residential apartments – rental apartments. You have two floors of retail spaces. You have two floors commercial office space – about 14,000 square feet. And then 8,500-square-foot rooftop restaurant.”
The restaurant looks to be taken by The Trapani Family, who are already successful restauranteurs with Zest and Grille 3501.
“It’s a great opportunity I mean we’re very excited to just be part of the Easton community,”
said Patti Trapani.
“Food-wise we’re looking toward the same thing,” Trapani said. “Fine dining but casual. We’re going to make a very inviting, comfortable setting, kind of warm. Maybe a bit more earthy type thing.”
Construction is now expected to wrap up with tenants moving in by the end of 2021 or early 2022.
