Big News! STR/East Windsor CT

“Big News”. STR Holdings completes purchase in East Windsor CT!

According to the Hartford Business Journal, STR Holdings, an Enfield CT based solar manufacturer, has closed on the long rumored purchased of a new facility in East Windsor CT. STR has purchased the former “Mushroom Factory” at 96 Newberry Road, East Windsor CT for (what we believe to be) $4.9m. 96 Newberry Road is a 275,000 square foot manufacturing plant located at the easterly end of the East Windsor Industrial Park. Since its redevelopment, the property has essentially had two occupants…Ingram Book Group and Casual Corner. The property has been vacant for a couple of years so the sale is wonderful news for the Town of East Windsor and the State of Connecticut.

The solar industry is obviously one of the bright lights (pun intended) in our area. Solar manufacturers continue to experience solid growth and it is imperative that the State of CT retains these companies and doesn’t “lose them” to other parts of the country. Hats off to the State of CT and the Town of East Windsor for all of their efforts to accommodate STR in its expansion! This process (to purchase the property) started in early 2010. A long haul to say the least.
