Housing Redevelopment// New Haven, CT Size: 98,000 sf // Architect: Newman Architects The CenterPointe

This project involved the complete rehabilitation of the 17,000 sf 866 Chapel Street Building, and the 60,000 sf existing former Woolworth’s building at 109 Church Street. The first floors remain retail, and the upper 5 floors in both buildings were converted to 85 apartment units: 40 efficiencies, 32 single bedroom, and 13 two bedroom units. All systems needed to be replaced and brought up to current building code and life safety standards. Work on all architectural details had to meet historic restoration and preservation guidelines. Project funding was a combination of a State of Connecticut Urban Development action grant and a HUD mortgage.
