A long-running reshuffle of the state’s Hartford office portfolio that began under Gov. Dannel Malloy is approaching its next phase, as workers vacate two historic Capitol-area properties that could be offered up for development by year’s end.
The adjacent buildings at 18-20 Trinity St. and 30 Trinity St., built in 1905 and 1900, respectively, total more than 164,000 square feet in an area seen as key for the ongoing redevelopment of Bushnell Park South.
The latter address was fully vacated as of early January, with state workers relocating mainly to the nearby State Office Building at 165 Capitol Ave., where a $205 million renovation wrapped up last fiscal year, making room for various state officials including the offices of the Attorney General, Comptroller and Treasurer.
