Wooster Square Project To Create More Than 200 Residential Units

NEW HAVEN, CT — A mixed-use project is under construction that will bring 230 rental units and 5,600 square feet of retail to two buildings in Wooster Square, according to a statement from Hines, a real estate firm. The new project, dubbed Whit Wooster Square, will be located at 630 and 673 Chapel St.

It will be Hines' first multifamily development in the state.

The Whit Wooster Square will replace a surface parking lot and a vacant office building with a design that features a brick façade and steel accents.

"We expect The Whit Wooster Square to bring a new rental experience to this already vibrant enclave of New Haven," Grant Jaber, managing director at Hines, said in a statement. "The combination of upscale amenity spaces with thoughtful residence layouts and high-end finishes throughout will set a new benchmark for rental living in the area."

The mixed-use project will feature five stories of living, amenity, and retail space. A mix of studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom residences span the two buildings along with several two-story loft-style apartment homes.
