Hartford, CT

After acquiring the buildings at 75 Charter Oak, CIL created an office community, primarily occupied by nonprofits, that promotes efficiencies and collaboration for its member tenants. Located in the historic Charter Oak neighborhood, the building was built in 1903 by the Atlantic Screw Works, one of the many manufacturing companies that made Hartford a worldwide leader in manufacturing innovation.

CIL aimed to create a space that would allow numerous nonprofit organizations to operate in a centrally located building. The proximity of the organizations also facilitates collaborations that might not otherwise occur.

Atlantic Works is located adjacent to three other major CIL projects – Capewell Lofts, Capewell Townhomes, and the Atlantic Works Conference Center. These four projects have transformed a key block in the Charter Oak neighborhood, serving as a link between downtown Hartford, the revitalized Front Street entertainment district, the new UConn Hartford campus, the historic Church of the Good Shepherd, and the rest of the Coltsville neighborhood, which has been given a national park designation by the U.S. Department of the Interior.
