Project Description
Located adjacent to the Yale Arts District, the new seven-story mixed use 18 High building completes a residential quadrangle with the New Haven Towers in this highly desirable downtown area of the city. The building was fully leased within a month of opening.
In addition to spacious studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, 18 High offers 10,000 square feet of prime retail space on ground level to continue the vibrant pedestrian experience along Crown Street. The retail space can be easily subdivided into as many as four smaller spaces. A parking garage below grade provides tenants guaranteed spaces in a city where on-street parking remains at a premium.
On the building’s lower floors, a central, glass-enclosed community hub anchors the new quadrangle and provides amenities for over 1500 residents in the complex. All tenants will have access to the building’s gym, lounge, co-working space, and a 5,000 square foot rooftop lounge.
The building’s design creates a strong street presence on the corner of Crown and High Street, frames a new courtyard in concert with the two existing New Haven Towers, and extends Crown Street’s retail and restaurant corridor westward. The façade’s combination of alternating light brown brick and dark bronze metal panels harmonizes with the aesthetic of the existing towers, while the brick and glass bay forms complement the scale of townhouses across Crown Street.
The apartments feature generously scaled, loft-like windows that maximize daylight and unparalleled downtown New Haven views. Carefully designed with premium finishes including Caesarstone countertops and stainless-steel appliances, each unit also features in-unit laundry and separate heating and cooling control for maximum comfort.
