Amid office market struggles, downtown Hartford s Stilts Building faces foreclosure

One of the major Class A downtown Hartford office towers owned by landlord Shelbourne Global Solutions is facing foreclosure, reflecting the struggles of the city’s office market coming out of the pandemic.  Wells Fargo Bank in June filed a foreclosure action in Hartford Superior Court against an affiliate of Shelbourne alleging the Brooklyn, New York landlord has failed to make payments since February on a $31 million mortgage for the 420,000-square-foot-property at 20 Church St., better known as the Stilts Building.

At State House Square, one of downtown Hartford’s major Class A office properties, David Jakubowski keeps a close eye on parking garage traffic reports, eager to see concrete signs of greater employee activity as COVID-19 vaccination rates rise. However, Jakubowski, who manages the three-building property on behalf of its owners, has observed only a slight increase over the past few months. Inside, there’s still just a sliver of normal employee activity levels. “We were hoping at this point we might have 25% of the normal population back to work,” Jakubowski said. “I see a few more people I haven’t seen in the last year, maybe one or two days a week.”
