HARTFORD — Construction on the long-awaited, $50 million first phase of redevelopment around Dunkin' Donuts Park is now underway, with an official groundbreaking expected in two weeks.
The first phase of “Downtown North” — located just south of the ballpark at Main and Trumbull streets — is the beginning of a four-part, $200 million redevelopment of city-owned land that is seen as critical to reconnecting downtown with the city’s northern neighborhoods.
As many as 1,000 apartments, restaurant and entertainment space and parking garages could replace an expanse of parking lots in the next five years or so.
