Transforming a Brownfield Site into a Community Asset

The Residence Inn by Marriott is being built on a redeveloped brownfield site, turning previously underutilized land into a productive, welcoming space that contributes to the surrounding area. Brownfield redevelopment requires careful planning, environmental awareness, and close coordination among project partners, an approach that aligns with KBE’s experience delivering complex urban projects.

The development has received strong support from Bridgeport city officials, reflecting a shared vision for long-term growth and reinvestment. This collaboration underscores the project’s importance not only as a hotel, but as a catalyst for continued restructuring throughout the city.

Continued Investment at Steelpointe Harbor

This project marks KBE Building Corporation’s third collaboration at Steelpointe Harbor, building on a long-term partnership that includes The August apartment community and the Steelpointe Car Wash. Together, these projects reflect KBE’s dedication to transforming the waterfront into a dynamic, mixed-use destination.

The Residence Inn continues that momentum, adding hospitality to a growing district defined by residential, commercial, and recreational development.
