Unique Aspects of the Project

This project will revitalize a long-underutilized 1.5-acre site in a prime downtown location, a block away from the New Haven Green and across the street from the State Street train station.  It is believed to be the largest private new construction project ever built in New Haven and the greenest large-scale residential building in Connecticut.
