New Haven’s economy is set to expand by thousands of apartments, hundreds of hotel rooms, and a nearly $1 billion new neuroscience center in the coming years — if projects in the pipeline proceed as planned in 2020.
Yale New Haven Hospital’s pitch to transform the city’s healthcare economy with a new $838 million neuroscience center earned the project four key aldermanic committee sign-offs — as well as impassioned testimony from Dwight neighbors worried about gentrification, traffic congestion, air pollution, and historic property demolition.
Dwight neighbors revved up concerns about increased parking and traffic from Yale New Haven Hospital’s planned new neuroscience center and renovated Saint Raphael Campus — while a hospital spokesperson pointed out that the many new patients, doctors, staff, and visitors for the nearly $1 billion project will have to park somewhere.

Yale New Haven Hospital’s planned new neuroscience center and renovated St. Raphael campus should result in $1 billion of economic activity over the coming five years, path-breaking research and medical care for victims of strokes and Parkinson’s Disease and ALS for many years after that — and a roughly 1,000-space increase to the campus’s current parking demand.
The hospital revealed those details as it won a handful of recommendations for regulatory approvals it needs before beginning construction on the mammoth new project next summer.

A Stratford investor purchased a Sherman Avenue medical office building for $2.7 million; a large-scale local landlord picked up over 50 apartments in West River, Edgewood, and Amity for over $4.7 million; and Yale University bought a surface parking lot next to its business school for over three times the lot’s appraised value — all in the city’s latest property transactions.

Zoning commissioners Wednesday night signed off on the planned expansion in the Hill of a popular soul food restaurant. They granted parking relief for a planned 44-unit apartment complex in Dwight. And they approved a new resident-run cafe in a planned affordable housing complex in West River.
Dozens turned out for the groundbreaking of the “Rt. 34 West” superblock’s latest development — a four-story, 763-space parking garage owned by the Hartford-based LAZ Parking.
The developers of a planned new six-story, 130-room hotel won a key city sign-off in their bid to build the next large project on the “Route 34 West” superblock.
There will not be one huge tower but rather two buildings, neither more than eight stories, so as not to overwhelm the residential neighborhood. One will be cantilevered over the current surgery center and the other beside it but set back from the street and buffered with landscaping.

A Civil War veteran’s severed thigh bone is headed on an overseas journey from New Haven to San Juan, where it will be enshrined as a century-old reminder of the American democracy that Puerto Ricans have fought to defend but are still barred from fully participating in.

Affordable housing and public safety are among the main concerns for the a team of alders who call themselves the “Three Musketeers” and are seeking another two years in office.
Chantell Hamilton left her West River apartment to walk her 4‑year-old daughter a block away to a school bus stop.
She returned a half hour later to find cops waiting to arrest her for allegedly leaving her 3‑year-old daughter and 4‑month-old son alone at home. Marched out in handcuffs in front of a wall of TV news cameras, she was subsequently slapped with a $25,000 bail bond and sent to lock-up at 1 Union Ave. for the afternoon until a neighbor bailed her out.

Yale New Haven Hospital received its final needed city sign-offs Monday night for two major planned renovation projects, including for the Long Wharf building it has proposed to fit out as a new primary care hub.
The hospital now needs only a final approval from state regulators before it can start making that centralized primary care vision a reality.
Buoyed by three approvals Monday night, Yale New Haven Hospital plans to move a 60-child daycare center to George Street and to expand a church-turned-medical office building on Sherman Avenue in order to make way for a new $838 million neuroscience center at its St. Raphael’s Campus.

Note: This article has been substantively updated since its first publication, now with an interview with Brodie about his background and investment strategy.
A 33-year-old, Monsey, N.Y.-based landlord bumped his local apartment holdings up to 347 units with the recent purchase of eight two and three-family homes in Fair Haven, the Hill, West River, and Westville.
That’s 347 more than when he started out in real estate a decade ago, when he first learned about investment opportunities in New Haven through a chance encounter at a gym in upstate New York.
