Founded in 2015 Blue Haus Group is a private real estate and economic development firm with a focus on creating dynamic urban cores within secondary and tertiary markets.

We specialize in the creation and redevelopment of public spaces, neighborhood streetscapes, activations and pop-ups.

Pratt Street Wireless District (wiDistrict)

During the summer of 2020, Blue Haus Group collaborated with the Hartford Business Improvement District and Shelbourne to create an enterprise grade wireless district in Downtown Hartford. While sparing the technical details of the deployment we managed to a strong enough broadcast to support at least 10up/10down for 300-400 users at a time.

The motivation for the project was two-fold:

To provide an outdoor destination for workers and students to work remotely
To stimulate foot traffic to downtown busineses

The 3 month activation accomplished it’s goals while producing the following metrics during the pilot

90 Days of Activation
