Day Pitney Serves as Pro Bono Counsel in Hartford Real Estate Transaction Involving Historic Property
Publisher: Day Pitney Press Release
October 12, 2010
Day Pitney LLP is pleased to announce it provided pro bono legal counsel to Northeast Neighborhood Partners, Inc., (NNPI) in its acquisition of the Swift Factory property in Hartford's Northeast neighborhood. The former gold leaf factory, located on Love Lane, will be converted into an affordable workspace for craftspeople, artists and other creative businesses. The property will feature sustainable design and incorporate an urban agriculture initiative and space for community programs.
Day Pitney partners Rosemary Ayers and Peter Chadwick assisted with NNPI's formation and application for tax-exempt status, as well as the legal aspects of the real estate transaction. The project will be developed on a turn-key basis by Common Ground, developer of the Hollander Foundation Center in downtown Hartford. The property was donated to NNPI by the heirs of Matthew Swift, who established the Swift Factory business in 1868.
