The developer that built North Haven’s newest 7-Eleven has filed plans for a truck stop a few doors up Washington Avenue, and residents will get their chance to weigh in at a public hearing on Monday, Nov. 9.
Krown Point Capital LLC, listed as both applicant and owner, has applied to the Planning and Zoning Commission for a special permit and site plan approval for a “Proposed Truck Stop” at 417, 419 and 425 Washington Ave. (Map 90, Lot 2) in the IL-30 zone, according to the commission’s Oct. 5 agenda. The applications are numbered P26-37S and P26-37, and the filing is in the care of Reggie Kronstadt of Krown Point.
The public hearing on both applications was continued to the commission’s Nov. 9 meeting, according to a notice of continuance from the town’s Land Use Office dated Oct. 6. That meeting starts at 6:30 p.m. in the Community Room at the North Haven Memorial Library, 17 Elm St.
What is on file so far
The public agenda describes the project only as a proposed truck stop. It does not list the number of fueling lanes, parking spaces or buildings, hours of operation or a tenant. Those details are typically in the application file at the Land Use Office and presented at the hearing.
In an Aug. 26 LinkedIn post, Krown Point said it now owns “this prime 6.6 acre development site at 417–425 Washington Ave,” after first acquiring a distressed land loan earlier this year and “working through the deed-in-lieu and bankruptcy process.” The company pointed to the site’s visibility on Route 5, traffic of 19,000 to 20,000 vehicles a day and quick access to Interstate 91, and called it “flexible for Build-to-Suit or Ground Leases — ideal for QSRs, car washes, in-line shops, and outparcels.” The post also noted about 300 apartments recently built next to and across from the site, and said “full streetlight access” would be provided.
The developer behind the 7-Eleven
Krown Point is the company behind the 7-Eleven at 413 Washington Ave. The Hartford Business Journal reported in November 2025 that it paid $1.5 million for that 1.6-acre parcel to build a 4,824-square-foot store with six fueling stations, and that broker Dan Zelson’s firm, Charter Realty, was marketing 5.9 acres ready for development around it. Zelson noted the site’s location near a large Amazon distribution facility, the Journal reported. “We are excited to activate the rest of that property,” he said. Krown Point’s website says construction there finished in July 2026 and the store is open.
The company has planned truck fueling elsewhere. In April, the Journal reported that Krown Point bought an 11-acre site in Killingly for a larger 7-Eleven with truck refueling lanes. The North Haven agenda does not say whether the Washington Avenue truck stop would follow that model or who would operate it.
