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.
