Downtown Office/Retail Building Next to City Hall | Steps From Amtrak & Ferry | +/-49,572 SqFt

Prominent 5-story office/retail building in the heart of downtown New London. Harris Place is home to a wide array of commercial tenants, including professional offices, art galleries, and a private library. The building has undergone numerous upgrades and renovations throughout its current ownership tenure.

Centrally located next door to City Hall and within eyeshot of the Amtrak/CTrail Shore Line East train station, as well as the Block Island, Fishers Island, and Cross Sound ferries. Just two blocks in the opposite direction sits the New London landmark, the Garde Arts Center, along with the historic New London Public Library.

The main level features a large, skylit atrium, and the elevator-serviced upper floors offer sunny spaces with incredible views of the Thames River. Connecticut College and the U.S. Coast Guard Academy are both approximately a five-minute drive away, while UConn’s Avery Point campus is about 12 minutes away.

Harris Place represents a compelling investment opportunity in a growing region with potential for conversion or redevelopment.
