Teachers Village

After almost 20 years of vacancy, the Capitol Center office building at 370 Asylum Street has been converted into 60 studio, one and two-bedroom apartment units. The 48,000 sq. ft. property has over 6,000 sq. ft. of first-floor retail space, is a block from Union Station and the PeoplesBank Arena, and is a short walk from the State Capitol, Legislative Office Building, and the Bushnell Performing Arts Center.

RBH Group of Newark, New Jersey, owns and developed the building. They modeled the redevelopment as affordable rentals aimed at teachers. It was a successful concept they used in Newark. The idea is that, by living near each other, teachers could collaborate more easily outside the classroom. The apartments opened in the spring of 2019.

Funding for the redevelopment included a $4 million loan from CRDA, an $11 million construction loan from the Connecticut Housing and Finance Authority, and approximately $ 862,000 in Federal Low Income Housing Tax Credit—total development cost: $20,289,542.
