Plans for Unilever’s $270 million innovation center in New Haven call for a nearly 253,000-square-foot building and $34.7 million in state funding for public infrastructure, including tunnels and plazas connecting the site to neighboring developments. The City Plan Commission is scheduled to review the project and hold a related public hearing Sept. 29. The four-story laboratory and office building would rise at 2 Church St., on a roughly 1.8-acre site between 101 College St. and the Church Street Bridge. It would be the third development in Downtown Crossing, an effort to reconnect New Haven’s Hill neighborhood and medical district with downtown on land once occupied by the Route 34 highway corridor. The city currently owns the site, which would be sold to WE 2 Church Street LLC, a company controlled by Massachusetts-based Winstanley Enterprises. Winstanley would develop the building, adding to the two major life sciences properties it built at 100 and 101 College St.
