Blue Back Square is located in West Hartford, CT, adjacent to the capital city of Hartford and halfway between Boston (100 miles NE) and New York City (100 miles SW). West Hartford is an affluent, densely populated suburban community known for its top-ranked education systems, historic charm and an active downtown. The property is situated adjacent to the area’s “main street” commercial core, West Hartford Center. With treelined streets, unique boutiques and an array of dining and shopping options, West Hartford Center is a premier commercial destination in the Hartford area. Blue Back Square serves as the contemporary counterpart to West Hartford Center, and together the two nodes create a synergistic and diverse commercial offering for local residents and visitors alike.
Blue Back Square is an approximately 450,000 SF midrise, urban-style, mixed-use development. Uses at the property include a mix of traditional office, creative office (co-working), medical office, retail, condos and residential apartments. Adjacent to the project is a highly successful Whole Foods grocer, as well as the recently built upscale 114-room, 3.5-star Delamar Hotel. Blue Back Square’s diverse tenancy mix creates a synergistic effect amongst each of the uses, resulting in a true work/live/play community.
