Summary
A once-prime Hartford office complex, now worth just $7.5 million after costing $150 million to build, is being snapped up by developer Mark Greenberg — who sees it as a golden opportunity amid the office space crunch. Greenberg, already converting offices to apartments, plans to keep this campus as office space, even reopening the cafeteria and gym. The move signals a broader trend: remote work has slashed demand for downtown offices, leaving towns like Hartford with high vacancy rates and tax headaches. Greenberg’s deal includes leasing Chubb’s Simsbury office — and buying it for just $250K — with plans to turn it into housing if it doesn’t rent.
