SHELTON — Developments are continuing to rise throughout the city, and several will be getting underway or being completed over the next year.
Here are some of them to keep an eye on.
Clock Tower Apartments
Construction of Clock Tower at Petremont — a 100-unit development on Petremont Lane off River Road — has been underway and the opening is planned by the end of 2024.

Attorney Stephen Bellis, representing Good Guys Development, said the developers have already seen strong interest from potential renters.
"We had 100 hits in 10 minutes (on the Clock Tower Apartments website),” said Bellis.
The development will include a fitness center, a lounge with pool table and golf simulator, a conference room, a dog park and wash station, rooftop lounges overlooking the Housatonic River and electric vehicle charging stations.
Canal Street developments
Work on Riverview Park Royal and Chromium Commons, which sit across from each other on Canal Street, is expected to begin in earnest this coming year, according to developer John Guedes.

Site work already started at Riverview Park Royal, which will be a five-story structure at property listed as 113-123 Canal St.
The building will have 13,000 square feet of retail or commercial space and 92 apartments, with nine units set aside as affordable under state statute 8-30g, one of the state’s affordable housing laws.
Overall, there would be 28 studio apartments, along with 16 one-bedrooms, 44 two-bedrooms and four three-bedroom apartments.
Structured parking will be provided on a deck at street level, at the rear of the commercial space and under the apartments, with a lower level of parking at the basement level. There will be 205 on-site parking spaces, with one designated for each apartment.

Chromium Commons will sit in what has become a popular parking lot downtown on the former Chromium Process site.
Guedes said the parking lot will remain available to the general public until more intensive site work begins next year.
Guedes said Chromium Commons is a “smaller building,” and should be fully completed within 16 months once it begins.
The plans call for construction of a four-story building, with first floor retail and 30 apartments — at least three of which will be affordable units — on the top three floors.

“I anticipate both developments will be ready by the beginning of 2025,” Guedes said.
Cedar Village at the Locks
Shelton developer Don Stanziale, known for building Cedar Village at Carrolls and Riverwalk Place, both along Howe Avenue, said he expects one of his projects, located in Derby, to be done by end of 2024 while a second at the end of Shelton’s Canal Street will begin this coming year.
Stanziele, owner of Midland Development and Contracting, said work on Cedar Village at the Locks at 287 Canal St. will begin in 2024 with the expected completion date in 2025.

The four-story structure on property known as the Ascom Hasler site will have 129 apartments and 1,745 square feet of retail space.
Stanziale said his plans for the end of Canal Street also call for him to complete the Riverwalk and create a seating area so people can look over the Shelton canal locks and the Housatonic River. The new building would have views of the river.
In Derby, Stanziale has partnered with fellow Shelton-based John Brennan Construction to turn what has been a long-vacant eyesore on Minerva Street into the Cedar Village at Minerva Square.
The project, on land listed as 67-71 Minerva St., calls for construction of a four-story complex with under-deck parking and 90 market-rate units. The apartments will be broken down into 39 studios and 51 one-bedroom apartments.
