Construction begins on Winstanley’s 101 College St.

Construction has officially begun on a new bioscience tower in downtown New Haven.

“This is an exciting time for our city — we are on the cusp of doing incredible things,” said New Haven Mayor Justin Elicker. “With the construction of 101 College St., we’re moving towards an expanded city tax base, approximately 700 to 1,000 new jobs on site, and an expected spur of 3,000 jobs throughout the local economy.”

Winstanley’s 10 story tower at 101 College St. will have roughly 500,000 square feet of laboratory, research and meeting space. It is being built across from the Alexion Pharmaceuticals building, which is at 100 College, another Winstanley development.
