We’ve moved!
Out with the old space, in with the new place.
We’re thrilled to announce that our offices have combined & relocated! But don’t worry, we’re still holding it down in Parkville & wouldn’t have it any other way.
Our new home is a historical building with roots in manufacturing and production. It resembles many other properties in our portfolio: a mixed use building located in the heart of Parkville.
1429 Park Street, or as we call it, “1429,” was built in 1920 as a part of the United States Rubber Company campus in the Parkville neighborhood. Just about 30 years earlier, Hartford was on the precipice of being a booming manufacturing hub. Farmland soon gave way to brickyards, rubber plants, and factories. Some of the biggest exports from our Capital City were: typewriters, bicycles, telephones and tires.
Tires for bicycles and early automobiles were produced within the art-deco style walls of 1429. With the rise of World War One, the U.S. Rubber Company contributed to the effort with gas masks, rubber boots, and pneumatic tires. In 1929, the U.S. Rubber Company moved all of their Hartford production to Detroit. The building then housed commercial and industrial firms in the 1930s, and in 1945, the U.S. Rubber Company sold the factory complex to a Hartford real estate syndicate. The tradition of production and creativity at 1429 has been upheld to this day: commercial teants at present include a brewery, coffee roaster, tailor, needleworker, filmmaker, interior designer and much more. Additionally, an art gallery is currently being built out at 1429 and is slated to open this summer.
There are also currently 96 apartments at 1429 Park Street. Each unit is spacious and has soaring ceilings, large windows and other features reflecting the building’s history.
Come on over to 1429 for a visit someday! We’d love to have you and tour commercial or residental spaces. Be sure to follow us on Instagram for video clips on how to find us once you’ve arrived.
