In Lazowski’s hometown of Hartford, he and Lexington have teamed up with Shelbourne Global Solutions – the city’s largest downtown office landlord – on a plan to transform a six-story office building overlooking Bushnell Park into a boutique hotel of about 90 rooms. The building at 15 Lewis St. had previously served as LAZ Parking’s headquarters, before the company’s purchase of and move to the Gold Building office tower.
Lazowski, Lexington and Shelbourne have also partnered in a multi-phased transformation of a 324,000-square-foot, office-and-retail complex at the corner of Trumbull and Pratt streets. The first phase is a conversion of the top four floors of a building at 64 Pratt St., into dormitory space for roughly 200 UConn students.
In terms of his main business, Lazowski recently announced a new partnership with California-based Epic Charging that will deploy electric vehicle charging technology across 50,000 LAZ-controlled parking spaces over the next five years.
