The name, “Front Street” was selected after an enthusiastic response to the concept of tying the development to the nostalgia of the original location, a bustling riverfront thoroughfare from the late 1800’s through the 1950’s. Front Street not only refers to the new pedestrian-oriented street that will anchor the development, but also to the district as a whole, encompassing Arch Street and the Hartford Times Building, the historic portions of which are being preserved to showcase its grand balcony facing Prospect Street.
- The Front Street development is strongly aligned with the revitalization approach of the 1998 Economic and Urban Design Action Strategy authored by urban planner Ken Greenberg, who was engaged by CCEDA for consultation on the Front Street plan.
- Phase I of Front Street will feature entertainment venues and retail business, while Phase II will include the façade of the historic Hartford Times Building.
- Arch Street, long dominated by parking lots, will enjoy a rebirth with additional retail outlets joining the Arch Street Tavern, which continues to operate near the corner of Arch Street and Columbus Boulevard.
- At its east end, the development will greet the Connecticut Convention Center and Hartford Marriott Downtown with a strong presence along Columbus Boulevard
