276-286 York Street in New Haven, Connecticut represents an important part of the Broadway/York Street redevelopment. Kenneth Boroson Architects’ design responded to several issues, including restoration of storefronts which had changed considerably from their original design, and repair of severely-cracked terra cotta columns resulting from a fire in the 1940s. 

Materials include Andes dark green marble, Nero Assoluto black granite, custom metal trim, obscure glass with zinc cames, recessed quarry-tile entrances, metal storefront doors and windows, and wood pivot windows for the second-floor offices.

In addition, modest interior renovations were completed on 2,170 sf of retail space.
