Torrington Riverfront
Torrington Riverfront is a proposed four-story mixed-income, mixed-use apartment complex in downtown Torrington, CT.
Developed by Pennrose, in cooperation with the City, the project is set to transform a vacant parcel of land adjacent to the future Naugatuck Greenway pedestrian trail. It is being envisioned as the first phase of larger development with walkable connections to downtown amenities and services.

WRT is designing Riverfront to receive the Passive House certification by Passive House Institute US (PHIUS). All dwelling units will be certified under EPA’s ENERGY STAR for Homes, v 3.1 program and will achieve a HERS Index of 60 or better.
The building will consist of 60 units with 1,200 square feet of first floor retail space. There will be an adjacent public plaza, a management office, a common residential lobby, community, fitness rooms and landscape amenity spaces to be used by residents, and related building support spaces.
Designing to Passive House standards brings benefits to residents such as better indoor air quality and helps drive down utility expenses, sometimes as much as 80%.
