Photo | CoStar NEW BRITAIN Developer Avner Krohn has sold another newly built apartment property in down- town New Britain, marking his second such deal in roughly four months. Krohn sold The Highrailer, a six-story, 114-unit mixed-use building at 283 Main St., to a partnership between New Jersey- based firms INV360 and Reliant Partners. The price was not disclosed. The property, completed this year, includes 5,600 square feet of retail space and sits near City Hall and Krohn's nearby project, The Brit. The same buyers purchased The Brit in January for $31.07 million. Krohn has been an active downtown developer, completing and selling multiple projects. He said investor demand remains strong as he continues new development and repositioning efforts in the city. WETHERSFIELD A 64-unit apartment building in Wethers- field has sold for $19.1 million, according to property records. The 66,601-square-foot property at 275 Ridge Road was purchased by Northwind Group LLC, a Long Island-based multifamily developer and investor headed by Deme- trius A. Tsunis. The seller — a Brooklyn, New York-based limited liability company controlled by Avrohom Becker — paid $18.2 million for the property in 2022. The three-story building sits on 5.3 acres and was built about six years ago. The sale equates to roughly $298,000 per unit, among the higher prices seen in the suburban Hartford multifamily market, according to Will Suarez, an Avison Young principal who represented the seller and procured the buyer. SIMSBURY The owner of a Simsbury office property is seeking approval to add 14 town house- style housing units to a 3.4-acre site on Mill Pond Lane. A preliminary plan calls for rezoning 1-3 Mill Pond Lane to allow multifamily development alongside an existing 14,000-square-foot office building, which would remain in use. The units would be built on underused portions of the site, including excess parking and a tennis court, as part of a mixed-use redevelopment. NEW HAVEN A 43-unit apartment building is being proposed for 1515 State St. in New Haven, according to plans filed with the city. The project, submitted by applicant M&T Land Development II LLC on behalf of owner East State LLC, calls for a four-story multifamily building with a mix of studio, one- and two-bedroom units. Two units would be designated as affordable housing under city requirements. The development, proposed for a corner parcel at State and Lyman streets, would include on-site parking and landscaping.
