A 64-unit apartment complex, affordable to many, is part II of Bayonet Apartments. Bayonet I officially opened for residents on Bayonet Street in New London in 2023 marking the completion of Phase I of the Bayonet Street Apartments.
Construction on Bayonet II, the second building, began in October 2024, and will add 36 additional apartments, including efficiencies, 15-one-bedroom, 16-two-bedroom, 2-three-bedroom units and 3-studio apartments.
The complex is designed with residents in mind, featuring a community room, on-site gym, and outdoor spaces for relaxation and recreation. Ample parking is also available for all residents.
We are thrilled about the continued progress of this project and look forward to welcoming new tenants in February, 2026, upon the anticipated completion of Phase II.
