Rebuilding affordable housing in West Hartford, preserving the Heublein Tower in Simsbury and renovating Hartford’s Fuller Brush headquarters into apartments are just a few of the projects expected to get a boost Friday from the state Bond Commission.
The Capital Region Development Authority board on Thursday agreed to loan $3 million toward an $18.7 million conversion of the former Travelers training center at 200 Constitution Plaza into 101 apartments. Biagio Barone of Stratford-based Barone Properties has teamed up with John Guedes, president of Bridgeport builder Primrose Cos. for the redevelopment of the roughly 125,000-square-foot, five-story, concrete building on the northeastern edge of downtown Hartford.
A long-vacant building on Hartford's Constitution Plaza could be converted to apartments in an estimated $18 million conversion.
