From demolition of a portion of the former Founders Plaza office park to the sale of town-owned property for a 400-unit apartment complex, 2025 will be another year to push ahead large-scale economic redevelopment projects in East Hartford. Town staff are setting the stage to invest a portion of a $6.5 million state grant to demolish the former Bank of America office building at 99 Founders Plaza, making way for a 300-unit apartment building facing the Connecticut River, Martin noted. This is the first installment of a multi-year effort to build roughly 1,000 apartments mixed with retail, entertainment and other commercial uses along the riverfront. Martin said the investors behind “Port Eastside” have invested more than $22 million into the acquisition of various parcels for the project.
