Office Space for LeaseThe Center Court Building

122 Court Street, New Haven

Background
122 Court Street is located at the Center Court Building which is situated in the heart of downtown New Haven between the State Street Train Station and New Haven’s Financial Center. The building consists of two attached structures: a 14-story residential tower dating back to about 1916 and a 3-story addition constructed in the 1980’s. The property was most recently purchased in 1997 and, until March 2005, had existed as Class B apartment rentals in the tower, office space on floors two and three, and ground-level retail space. In March 2005, the residential rentals were converted to 74 condominium units ranging in size from about 350 square feet to 1,180 square feet.  

The previous owner packaged the retail and office components of the building (the first three floors plus two basement spaces) into 16 condominiums, which house about 14,000 square feet of vacant office space and approximately 4,000 square feet of retail space. This space is both aesthetically and functionally separate from the tower with its own prominent entrance at 122 Court, a separate elevator, and an independent lobby featuring a 30-foot tall atrium that is capped by a skylight.

Development Plan
The developer negotiated the purchase of 16 condominium units at 122 Court and is converting them into fourteen residential condominiums and two ground-floor retail condominiums. Wareck Real Estate, LLC is utilizing and expanding upon the existing base building mechanical systems, fire systems, and electrical systems where possible. The renovations will include further upgrades to the lobby entrance, elevator, and common areas in order to brand a new image for 122 Court as upscale condominiums. There will be ten spacious one-bedroom condos and four sizable duplex two-bedroom condos. Units are planned to have, among other features, open kitchens with granite counters, bathrooms with marble-topped vanities, plentiful closet space, and washer/dryer hook-ups.  Units will be available for pre-sale in May 2007 and for move-in during the Fall of 2007.

The building provides substantial amenities to buyers, including a gym, nearby surface parking, laundry facilities, conference room, basement storage, and an onsite property management office.
