A retail site once occupied by Harold’s Formal Wear, vacant since 2015, was purchased by a private developer. Kenneth Boroson Architects was contracted to design a new seven-story mixed-use transit-oriented development, now known as Estelle New Haven.

The half-acre parcel at 19 Elm Street is in the heart of downtown New Haven and has a Walk Score of 95. It is approximately two blocks from the State Street rail platform and within walking/biking distance of countless businesses, restaurants, professional/medical services, and entertainment venues. The property is accessible from both Elm and State Streets.

The  vacant retail structure was demolished. The new structure includes retail, offices and tenant amenity space as well as 96 market-rate dwellings in a mix of studios, 1-bedroom, and 2-bedroom apartments.

Residents have access to a rooftop deck as well as various common spaces. Interior amenities include a fitness center, half-court basketball, community room, study, and lobby.

Parking is available for tenant vehicles and bicycles.
