From the article

A Westport-based gelato company plans to move its manufacturing business from Sargent Drive to Grand Avenue, after purchasing a former commercial-bakery building from Lyman Orchards for $1.05 million. That property sale was recorded on the city’s land records database on Friday.

The relevant warranty deed states that Gelato Haven LLC paid $1.05 million to Middlefield Real Estate Holdings LLC to acquire the industrial property at 724 Grand Ave. That two-story commercial bakery was last appraised by the city for tax purposes as worth $1,116,328.

The Grand Avenue property has been owned since December 2021 by an affiliate of the Middlefield-based apple orchard company Lyman Orchards, which bought 724 Grand and two Food Terminal Plaza properties for $3 million in order to move part of its pie-making business to New Haven.

The 724 Grand Ave. building was previously owned by the local bakery company Something Sweet. The new owner of 724 Grand Ave. is a company controlled by Eric and Kelly Emmert.
