Westport Project: 950 Post Road East – Former Men’s Wearhouse / Spot On Veterinary Hospital

Redniss & Mead has been involved in multiple redevelopment concepts for 950 Post Road East, a property once occupied by Men’s Wearhouse. Working with Coastal Luxury Homes, our team obtained approval for a residential conversion of the existing structure, including adding an infill second level with 14 housing units and onsite affordable apartments.

Our services included planning, zoning, engineering, and surveying to secure text amendments and site plan approval for the residential redevelopment. Although the housing plan was ultimately not constructed, the project demonstrated our ability to unlock the redevelopment potential of a constrained Post Road site and to structure zoning approvals that positioned the property for future reuse. Neighborhood collaboration again was an important aspect coordinated by Redniss and Mead.

The property later transitioned to a new owner who pursued its reuse as a veterinary hospital, Spot On Vet. Redniss & Mead supported this next iteration by assisting in the permitting and land use process, while final approvals were led by an attorney with Hurwitz, Sagarin, Slossberg & Knuff, LLC. Today, the site operates successfully in its new role, an example of how flexible planning and adaptive entitlement strategies can give underused properties a path forward even when original redevelopment plans do not proceed.
