40 Connecticut Ave
A commercial property anchored by a long-term institutional tenant and a large-scale ground-mount solar installation — two durable revenue streams from a single asset in Norwich, CT.
Anchored by a Hartford HealthCare Subsidiary
40 Connecticut Ave is a commercial property in Norwich, CT, occupied under a long-term triple-net lease by Rushford Center — a behavioral health facility and subsidiary of Hartford HealthCare, one of Connecticut's largest and most respected integrated health systems. The triple-net structure places operational and maintenance responsibilities squarely on the tenant, providing Ideal Group with stable, predictable income from a mission-critical healthcare occupant backed by deep institutional resources.
Clean Energy Built to Last Decades
Developed in partnership with Frama Realty and POWER — a solar innovation firm with over three and a half decades of industry experience — the ground-mount commercial solar farm at 40 Connecticut Ave is fully permitted, installed, and operational. The system generates clean electricity for Connecticut's grid annually, delivering a long-term energy revenue stream alongside the property's institutional commercial lease. Every component was selected for durability, efficiency, and decades of low-maintenance output.
Rushford Center & Hartford HealthCare
Rushford Center is one of Connecticut's largest and most comprehensive behavioral health providers — delivering addiction treatment, mental health services, and recovery programs to thousands of patients across the state. As a fully integrated subsidiary of Hartford HealthCare, Rushford operates with the financial strength and institutional support of a multi-billion-dollar health system behind it.
The 40 Connecticut Ave facility serves as a dedicated Rushford clinical location — providing behavioral health care to residents of New London County and the greater Norwich region. The presence of a long-term, mission-critical healthcare tenant in a purpose-built facility creates the kind of stable, non-cyclical occupancy profile that anchors a commercial real estate asset for decades.
- Hartford HealthCare is one of New England's largest integrated health systems, operating hospitals, medical groups, and specialty facilities statewide.
- Rushford Center delivers addiction treatment, psychiatric services, and recovery support — services with consistent, growing demand across Connecticut.
- The triple-net lease structure transfers day-to-day property operating costs — maintenance, insurance, taxes — to the tenant.
"Rushford has been helping people in Connecticut for over 50 years — providing behavioral health, substance use, and mental health services to individuals and families across the state."
Clean Energy for Connecticut
The 40 Connecticut Ave solar installation generates meaningful clean electricity annually — reducing reliance on fossil-fuel generation, lowering grid emissions, and contributing to Connecticut's statewide clean energy targets.
Norwich, Connecticut
Norwich is a historic city at the confluence of the Shetucket, Yantic, and Thames rivers in southeastern Connecticut — the same Thames that connects to New London Harbor and Long Island Sound. Known as the "Rose of New England," Norwich has long served as a regional center for healthcare, commerce, and civic life in New London County.
The city is home to major healthcare institutions, state facilities, and a growing network of social services — making it a natural anchor for a Rushford behavioral health center. Its location in southeastern Connecticut places it within commuting range of New London, Groton, Willimantic, and the broader coastal Connecticut market of over 300,000 residents.
