Six buildings in downtown Hartford’s Constitution Plaza are again being marketed for sale, this time by owner MetLife.
Commercial broker Christopher Ostop, of realty adviser and listing broker Jones Lang LaSalle, said Monday there is no set asking price for the sextet: 1, 10, 100, 248, 250 and 260 Constitution Plaza. 1 and 100 are Class A office towers, whose tenants included law firm Shipman & Goodwin.
250 and 260 are low-rise buildings, whose primary tenants included the city of Hartford and state of Connecticut. All are about 80 percent leased, Ostop said.
Ostop said investor-landlord Richard Cohen, along with GE Capital, previously had owned and operated the buildings. For a time, the owners had offered the structures for sale. Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. had been involved in financing the buildings.
The sextet, with 664,288 total square feet resting on 6.63 acres, are back on the market just as another signature downtown Hartford office tower, CityPlace II, is set to go to auction on Thursday, with a $6.5 million opening bid.
Erected as part of downtown’s urban renewal in the 60s, Constitution Plaza overlooks the former Riverfront Plaza office towers, which the state acquired and plans to occupy beginning next year.
