Demolition started Monday on the last of the buildings in the complex to come to down, located at 270 Mansfield St. off Winchester Ave. The building being knocked down is on a three-acre site containing nine former factory buildings that have been unused and blighted since 1987. The tract it’s on will be redeveloped into at least 100 residential units or 100,000 square feet of commercial space, depending on market forces, officials said. It’s part of a larger multi-phase redevelopment effort by the Science Park Development Corp., which was founded in 1981 by the city of New Haven, the state of Connecticut, Yale and the Olin Corp. to redevelop the former Winchester Repeating Arms Company factory complex. The demolition, abatement and remediation is expected to end next June and is being done with the aid of $10.8 million from the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development.
