The city of Hartford will buy two lots on Ann Uccello Street as part of a larger project to redevelop the city's North End neighborhood.

In a unanimous vote Monday night, Hartford City Council approved the $17,000 purchase of 522 and 532 Ann Uccello St. from social services nonprofit House of Bread Inc.
Upon completion of the land sale, the city plans to market those properties along with other city-owned parcels at 1355 & 1359 Main St. for redevelopment. 

The city's Department of Development Services has determined that its purchase of the Ann Uccello properties is "a key component" of the so-called "Salvin Block" project, records show. The development services office would work with Hartford's neighborhood revitalization zone (NRZ) program to review and provide input on the project.

Hartford's redevelopment plan is surfacing months after New York landlord-developer Shelbourne Global Solutions LLC, one of downtown’s most active landlords, acquired the Flatiron" building at nearby 529-543 Ann Uccello St. and the lot at 525 Ann Uccello.

Shelbourne has said it plans to redevelop the three-story, brick edifice into new housing space, and called the purchase “an important component of our long-term plans to organically invest in the Capital City.”
