Part of Constitution Plaza, an Iconic Hartford Landmark for Over 50 Years.

Constitution Plaza has been part of the downtown Hartford landscape for more than half a century. It is the first thing you see as you exit the Founder’s Bridge driving into Connecticut’s Capital City, serving as a gateway to the Hartford Central Business District and connecting the riverfront with the rest of downtown. The plaza encompasses nearly four acres and features landscaped gardens, a central water feature with outdoor seating, paved pathways and open plaza space for walking and gathering, all atop a 1,600-car parking garage.

3 Constitution Plaza is situated at the southeast corner of the Plaza, adjacent to the Spectra Apartments building and Trinity College Liberal Arts Action Lab at 10 Constitution Plaza. The corner location is directly across the street from the Founder’s Bridge, with convenient access to the riverfront, the Connecticut Science Center, Convention Center and the Hartford Marriott hotel, as well as the Front Street entertainment district restaurants and retail. Major tenants at Constitution Plaza include XL Insurance, UCONN MBA Program, and Shipman & Goodwin. Directly opposite Constitution Plaza are the State of Connecticut consolidated administrative offices and the Hartford Steam Boiler headquarters at One State Street, and Nassau Re's headquarters at One American Row.

3 Constitution Plaza is a landmark site that offers a prime city center location with immediate highway access, flexible zoning, in-place utilities, and proximity to all of downtown Hartford’s recreational, retail and cultural entertainment options.
