CT Supplies $13M to Redevelop Section of Downtown New Haven

HARTFORD CT-The state of Connecticut has approved more than $13 million in funding to support a nearly $40-million project that will be used in part to create 221 rental housing units in downtown New Haven.

HARTFORD, CT-The second phase of the redevelopment of the Ninth Square section of downtown New Haven got a major boost on Friday (May 31) when the State Bond Commission approved a $13,166,154 grant to help facilitate the mixed-use project.

The bond commission approved the request submitted by Governor John G. Rowland for the Ninth Square initiative. The second phase of the Ninth Square redevelopment effort is estimated to cost $39,872,795.

Phase two of the project entails the substantial renovation and retention of approximately 25,000 sf of ground floor retail space on Church and Chapel Streets and the retrofit of the former Grant’s department store to accommodate a 138-car parking garage. In addition, upper story commercial space at the site will be converted into 121 rental apartment units. Work on a second block, which includes sections of Chapel, Orange and Church Streets, involves the renovation of four historic commercial buildings in order to create 56 rental apartments. In that area, new construction will add another 44 rental units to the project. The new rental apartments will be a mix of affordable and market rate priced units.
