Amenta&Co was invited by the Spanish American Merhcants Association to formulate a design and program that would celebrate pride in the ethnic and cultural roots of Hartford's Hispanic population. The program includse 74 luxury condominiums, 50,000 square feet of restaurants, banquet hall and chapel with 3,000 underground parking spaces. The design revolves around a nearly 1-acre central square in the tradition of many Hispanic and Latino communities in Europe, South and Central America. The successful interpretation of the community's aspirations attracted investment from Solaris, an investment group formed by many local businesses.   Client: A&Co./Solaris LLC.
