Few forecasters anticipated a wave of large-scale apartment and condo projects when the pandemic started, but across central Connecticut developers are building thousands of new housing units.
Developer Avner Krohn’s relationship with New Britain began about 15 years ago when he first saw the Andrews Building at 136 Main St. “The building had been gutted probably less than 20 years prior but it just wasn’t run well,” Krohn said. Today, the Andrews Building is a mix of retail on the lower floors and luxury apartments above after Krohn’s company, Jasko Development, renovated it. Other downtown New Britain buildings Jasko resurrected include the Rao and Raphael buildings, each now a mix of retail and residential.
