Criterion Group has purchased New Haven’s 60,000-square-foot Sports Haven sports betting facility.

The 9.75-acre property at 600 Long Wharf Drive abuts the city’s only class A office building at 545 Long Wharf Drive, which sold earlier this year for nearly $13 million.

The sale price was $6.75 million.

The seller, Sportech PLC, indicated in an announcement that it plans to lease back the facility for six months while searching for a new location for its sports betting business.

Criterion, which specializes in multifamily communities, is based in New York City. Criterion did not immediately return an email requesting comment.
