The former headquarters of the nation’s oldest continuously published newspaper is scheduled to be up for auction next month.
The Hartford Business Journal reports the 289,392-square-foot office and industrial property that was once the home to Connecticut’s Hartford Courant is listed for auction on Ten-X with a starting bid of $700,000. The auction, which is slated to occur on Jan. 27, 2025, was initially listed for sale in March 2021 for $6 million, but never secured a buyer.
The property last changed hands in 2018 for $6.9 million when Tribune Real Estate Holdings LLC sold it to 285 Broad Street Hartford LLC, which is operated by Jason Piel, the controller at Twenty Lake Holdings, a subsidiary of New York-based Alden Global Capital which owns the Courant.
According to the Ten-X listing, the property offers three power feeds, three passenger elevators, two freight elevators, an atrium lobby, conference rooms, and training facilities. The listing describes the property as “a Hartford landmark” with Class B office and industrial space featuring “excellent value-add repositioning opportunity with the flexibility for a variety of end uses.”
