We appreciate everyone who supported our Wilton Mall Planned Unit Development District project at the March 2nd Town Board meeting. Despite the overwhelming positive support, the Town Board did not take action to schedule a public hearing because the motion was not seconded. We listened to the public and Town Board's concerns and plan to address them at our next appearance. We hope to be back on the agenda for the May 4, 2023 meeting. Please submit your Letter of Support if you haven't already and we hope to see you at Town Hall on May 4th.
The future of Wilton Mall and our exciting proposed residential addition will be discussed during the town board meeting on March 2 at 7:00 pm.
Help us show our civic leaders that you support the future of the community by:
- Attending the meeting in person and/or;
- Providing a Letter of Support via our website. You can add your name here to a quick response letter.
We are grateful for our supportive community and have appreciated the conversations we’ve had with you along with way.

Thank you to our many neighbors for sharing valuable feedback about the proposed residential project. Your comments have helped us to understand the community's main concerns. As of today, they are focused on traffic congestion, affordable versus “luxury,” as well as the public benefits of this development. In response:
Traffic impact is always a major consideration in new developments, and we are confident that it will be minimal based on the results of our Traffic Impact Evaluation Study. This study is public and can be found by visiting the Information & Plans section at the bottom of the INFO tab of our website.
As the community continues to expand and offer exciting employment additions such as Global Foundries, the proposed development will offer a market rate price point for amenity-rich rental units, provide more diverse housing options for the community.
Macerich and Paramount are highly committed to the market and believe that this proposed development will be extremely beneficial in attracting new customers as well as new businesses to the shopping center. Wilton Mall has been an important contributor to the market for many years. Every effort is being made to ensure that the heart of the community remains resilient and that the vital economic support that comes from a regional shopping center continues.
Our team will be meeting with the Town Board on March 2 at 7:00 pm. Help us show our civic leaders that you support the future of the Mall by either attending the meeting in person or by providing a Letter of Support which can be found in the SHARE YOUR SUPPORT tab. Please fill out your Letter of Support by Sunday February 12th!!
Thank you.

Reimagining Wilton Mall as a mixed-use destination first began in 2012 with the addition of non-retail uses, Planet Fitness and Healthy Living Market & Café in the former JCPenney retail space. The Wilton Mall Apartments are just the next step in the Evolution of Wilton Mall, and are sure to be a catalyst for attracting future Retail, Dining, and Entertainment opportunities to the Mall.
We’re excited to learn more about community needs so that we can build a more thoughtful project. Make sure you visit our Share Your Support page at: https://courbanize.com/projects/wiltonapts/sharesupport to fill out a Letter of Support and share additional comments!
