Middletown developer Robert A. Landino says he and his partners’ vision for a downtown Hartford ballpark ringed by new housing, offices and retail is closer than ever to breaking ground.
Landino told HBJ last week that his Centerplan Development Co. is close to wrapping up contracts with the city and the state transportation department, and groundbreaking for the $350 million “Downtown North” redevelopment could come as early as Feb. 1.
“We’re hoping to get started in about six weeks,” Landino said.
Last Monday, Landino announced Centerplan had acquired the real estate, vehicles and other assets of former North Haven contractor Earth Technology Inc.
He said the equipment and other resources acquired in the deal enhance Centerplan’s construction capabilities for the DoNo development and other New England projects.
