This is a very good first step towards attracting a high quality urban grocery to Downtown Hartford. My brother actually moved into this building a week ago and his apartment is pretty awesome. The view of the Capitol and Bushnell park are amazing.

In the next month, Common Ground will launch a grocery "buying club" that allows members — primarily downtown residents and workers — to order groceries online and pick them up at the building every two weeks or get them delivered.

They have signed takers for its 56 apartments priced at below market monthly rents of $600 to $900 for residents whose incomes qualify.

All but three of the 14 two-bedroom units priced at market at $1,350 to $1,650 a month are under deposit.

Seven households will be in the building by month’s end, with the rest of the move-ins staggered out for weeks after to avoid gridlock.

I saw this. It should bode well for further efforts to bring residential on-line in downtown. Lets hope the BOA building guy has noticed.

I've worked in this building recently, and despite a little PCB issue in the basement, every single thing about this building is top-notch. This is truly an asset to the city, and I would hope this organization does more of this in the future...

Here is a very nice article on the Hollander Building as we await work on its neighbor. The project is as an example of affordable housing done right (and it's 100% full).

In Hartford, a model for sustainable housing

At the corner of Asylum and High streets, on the western edge of downtown Hartford, an 83-year-old building was rescued, renovated and filled with tenants. Now, some say, it represents Hartford's most promising way forward in sustainable housing.

This is the Hollander Building. Reopened in 2009 as mixed income housing, it faced being turned into a parking lot before non-profit and historical preservationists advocated successfully for its survival. Now, two and a half years later, its 70 apartments are full, and it's financially self-sufficient.
