In a history spanning just several years, Fullstack Modular has developed a portfolio of successful and planned projects that range from a sleek, six-unit apartment building sandwiched in-between stately rowhouses, to a 32-story high rise with dozens of affordable units towering over a basketball arena and one of the nation’s busiest subway stations. In the company’s soon-to-be home of Connecticut, however, such projects are at the center of one of the state’s most-heated political battles. Just 2.2 percent of residential land in Connecticut is zoned to allow houses with four or more units as a right, according to an atlas developed by Desegregate CT, an advocacy group that favors denser and more affordable development. Fullstack’s decision to invest up to $12 million in developing its new headquarters in Hamden — as well as a connection to New Haven’s Gateway Terminal — was seen as a coup for Gov. Ned Lamont’s economic development efforts, which have focused on bringing new companies and taxpayers into Connecticut.
