Kenneth Boroson Architects is excited to announce that construction has commenced on the new multi-family development we designed for the City of Meriden at 11 Crown Street. Haynes Construction is hard at work at the former Record Journal Site. Along with our team members The Michaels Organization and Torti Gallas and Partners, our office is delighted to see this project moving forward.

Designed to earn Passive House certification upon completion, the 11 Crown Street development will feature sustainable design measures including a highly insulated and air sealed building envelope, triple glazed windows, and high efficiency mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. The two townhouse buildings along Crown Street and South Colony Street, as well as the apartment building near Perkins Street will follow stringent design and construction standards to earn their certification.

Construction is anticipated to be completed during the summer of 2020. The site is being cleared and foundations are starting to be formed. We look forward to seeing this integral part of Meriden’s Transit Oriented Development District come to life.
