Baldwin Pearson & Co., Inc. closed the sale of 2404 Main St. in Stratford, Conn., a single-story, four-unit brick retail plaza that sold at its full asking price of $1.275 million in an all-cash transaction.
The deal was exclusively brokered by Daniel Shawah of Baldwin Pearson & Co., Inc. The property totals 5,482 square feet of leasable retail space across four ground-floor units. The building’s brick masonry construction aligns with the look and feel of Stratford’s historic Main Street commercial district, where exterior materials play a visible role in how the corridor reads to tenants, customers, and investors.
Located along Main Street, the plaza offers strong visibility and pedestrian traffic, plus quick access to nearby shops, restaurants, and neighborhood amenities. The site sits steps from the Metro-North Railroad station, adding another layer of access for customers and tenants. Baldwin Pearson described the downtown location as a key driver behind the property’s appeal in one of Fairfield County’s most active commercial corridors.
