BRIDGEPORT, CT—The much anticipated Steelpointe Harbor project here hit a key milestone as the developer reports work on the $15-milion phase one infrastructure improvements for the $750-million mixed-use project are complete.

Bridgeport Landing Development, LLC, a subsidiary of the RCI Group, is also in the midst of construction on the first phase of the 2-million-square-foot development. The $50 million first phase of Steelpointe, which includes Bass Pro Shops, Starbucks, Chipotle and T-Mobile, is expected to be completed by the fall of this year. Project partner Robert Christoph Jr. announced the completion of the phase one infrastructure work.

At full build-out the waterfront project being developed on 82 acres will feature more than 750,000 square feet of retail, restaurants and entertainment, a 12-screen premium theater, two hotels, 1,100 mid-and-high rise residential units, 30,000 square feet of office and a 200-slip full service deep water marina.

“Our leasing for Steelpointe has been heavily focused on a tenant mix of both recognizable and first-to-market retailers,” says Douglas Jerum, Ferrara Jerum International partner and Steelpoint Harbor leasing consultant. “We have gained tremendous momentum in our discussions with a strategic blend of fashion, home, outlet, food, and entertainment users that will deliver a diverse and appealing combination of accessible luxury to the entire region. We expect to be making several exciting announcements in the weeks and months ahead.”
