14 Hartford Business Journal • October 31, 2016 www.HartfordBusiness.com Gregory Seay Sold barely a year ago, Six Central Row re-listed T he downtown Hartford historic office building known as Six Central Row that sold barely a year ago is back on the market, with the seller asking $300,000 more than it paid, the listing broker says. The 15,300-square-foot building sits between Travelers Insurance and The Hart- ford Trust building, 750 Main St., and directly across the street from the Old State House. New Britain commercial brokerage Amodio & Co. has the listing. It is priced at $875,000. Current owner State House Realty Inc. disclosed last Janu- ary its purchase of the building for $575,000. Broker Eric Amodio said the owner invest- ed an unspecified sum to spruce up the build- ing's interior to accommodate a growing num- ber of inquiries from existing and potential tenants. Upgrades included new LED lighting, new natural gas fired boilers, improvements to the common areas, stairwells and elevator. Amodio said State House Realty's business model has changed since the acquisition, pre- cipitating the sale listing. He did not elaborate. The property currently has two ten- ants generating annual income of $120,388, according to Amodio's listing. NE Seed's East Hartford relocation New England Seed Co. has relocated from Hartford's North End to leased space in East Hartford, brokers say. The commercial and garden vegetable, flower and herb seed company leased 9,170 square feet of a 200,000-square-foot, multi- tenant industrial building on 39 acres at 122H Park Ave. NE Seed previously was housed at 3580 Main St. in Hartford.
