Allyn Street in downtown Hartford used to be a nightlife hotspot, but has fallen on harder times in recent years, especially post-pandemic, with the closure of restaurants and other venues. 

Now, the federal government has selected a site on Allyn Street in Hartford, located about half a block west of the XL Center and near Union Station, as the “preferred alternative” to build a 281,000-square-foot replacement for the aging Abraham A. Ribicoff Federal Building and Courthouse, located at 450 Main St., near city hall.

The 2.2-acre property at 154 Allyn St. is currently used as a surface parking lot.

Mayor Arunan Arulampalam has endorsed the Allyn Street site, arguing it could bring a much-needed infusion of economic activity to the area. 

Will a federal courthouse revive economic activity in downtown Hartford’s Allyn Street corridor?
