The Bushnell South Master Plan (the “Plan”) is a collaboration of the State of Connecticut acting through CRDA, the City of Hartford, the Bushnell Performing Arts Center, private property owners in the Plan area and Goody Clancy architects to develop a shared vision and outline a development action plan for the area just south of Bushnell Park. The Plan will ensure that development projects build on each other to contribute to a thriving district greater than the sum of its parts. It provides tools to implement a mixed-use vision for a newneighborhood at the crossroads of Bushnell Park, the Bushnell Performing Arts Center and established neighborhoods and employment centers in and around greater downtown. Existing historic buildings will be complemented by new apartment buildings, townhouses, limited commercial and retail areas and places for residents, workers, and visitors to gather. Improved sidewalks, streets and green spaces will help connect people to surrounding neighborhoods, employers, and cultural and educational destinations every day.

Pursuant to the phasing outlined in the Master Plan, the next step is development of the so-called “Parcel 4”, which comprises the balance of the 165 Capitol site. As owner of the Parcel, CRDA is looking for an entity interesting in purchasing the site (or entering into a long-term lease) and developing it in accordance with the Master Plan.
