CBRE Tapped to Sell 300-Acre East Hartford Development Site

CBRE has been tapped to sell a 300-acre development site located adjacent to Pratt & Whitney’s corporate campus in East Hartford, CONN. The site will be known as the Logistics Center @ Rentschler Field.

The site offers the ability to accommodate up to 2.3 million square feet on 280 developable acres, with access to Interstates 84 and 91. It is located adjacent to Cabela’s 185,000-square-foot retail store and a 40,000-seat football stadium, which is home to the University of Connecticut Huskies. The site is being marketed as an ideal location for a Class A industrial logistics and distribution center.

“We are excited about this opportunity and believe there will be significant interest from both developers and end users due to the site’s excellent central Connecticut location, immediate highway accessibility and access to a densely populated labor pool,” said John McCormick and Chris Metcalfe of CBRE’s Hartford office. “The site’s unique history as a former airfield will add an additional layer of character and attractiveness to the site.”
