A partnership including some of the most prominent businessmen in Greater Hartford is planning an $841 million development along the Connecticut River in East Hartford, including 1,000 apartments, 300,000 square feet of commercial space and new transport links. Port Eastside plans to demolish this building, along with the former Red Thread property and a crumbling parking garage, then acquire additional properties, to make a roughly 30-acre development site along the river. Kenny said the existing buildings should be demolished this year, with reconstruction possibly launching as soon as a year later and proceeding in phases. The entire project could be completed in seven or eight years, Kenny said.
