Retail, Office, Medical Lease | Sunbeam Plaza, Waterbury CT

Sunbeam Plaza is an established neighborhood shopping center at 2457 East Main St, Waterbury CT, with 1,500 to 4,500 SF of retail, office, and medical space currently available for lease within the plaza’s 44,062 SF main building. The center’s existing co-tenants include AT&T, Quest Diagnostics, Marrakech, Ami Bagel, and 99 Nail Salon, anchoring the daily-needs trade area on Waterbury’s eastern retail spine.

The plaza sits on 8.47 acres at the East Main Street and Route 69 corridor, with 100,000 SF of paved parking (200+ spaces). Building 1 was constructed in 1995 with concrete and precast panel exterior, package-unit HVAC, and a wet sprinkler system throughout. Zoning is CA (Arterial Commercial) which permits retail, restaurant, office, medical and dental, and personal services without variance.

The site draws from a layered catchment: dense urban Waterbury (114,403 residents, the regional Naugatuck Valley metro), plus affluent inner suburbs Cheshire (28,733 residents, MHI $132,682), Prospect (MHI $125,556), Middlebury (MHI $124,619), and Wolcott (MHI $114,529). Watertown, Naugatuck, and the Saint Mary’s and Waterbury Hospital systems round out the working trade area. With Brass Mill Center’s enclosed retail in long decline, daily-needs strip centers like Sunbeam are absorbing the suburban household trips that once anchored the regional mall.

I-84 Exit 25 (Hamilton Ave) is approximately 1.7 miles west, Route 8 is 3 miles west, and downtown Waterbury is 2.5 miles west, putting the property in front of both local-resident and pass-through retail traffic. Available units suit retail storefronts, professional offices, medical and dental practices, food and beverage operators, and personal-service tenants. The plaza is also available for sale; contact the broker for investment terms.
