WALLINGFORD More restaurants could be coming to the Lowes property on Route 5 adjacent to the Chick-fil-A under construction.

A Massachusetts company is seeking a special permit to build one standalone restaurant with a drive-through window and another building with two spaces for restaurants. Infinity Route 5 LLC submitted an application to the Planning and Zoning Department earlier this month.

The company wants to build two buildings in the northwest corner of the Lowes Home Improvement parking lot at 1094 N. Colony Road.

The plan calls for construction of a 4,530-square-foot restaurant with a drive-through. A second 3,800-square-foot building would includes two storefronts 2,200-square-feet and 1,600-square-feet that can be leased for a restaurant. If a restaurant cannot be found, the building will be designed for retail.

Town Planner Kacie Costello could not be reached for comment Tuesday.

The companys application did not mention specific restaurants. Bernard Devine Jr., Charles Irving III, and Andrew Rockett are listed as the managers of Infinity Route 5, according to state records. They could not be reached for comment Tuesday.

Andrew Manning, of Boston-based WFS Development, said tenants have not been selected. The plan is for businesses to open next year

We were talking to various people and obviously restaurants were on the application with potentially some retail uses as well. That would be a good mix for that area, Manning said Tuesday. Leasing is underway.
