LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lowe Enterprises Investors, in joint venture with an investment client, has acquired the 374-unit 1 Kennedy Flats apartment community located at 1 Kennedy Avenue in Danbury, Connecticut in the New York Metro area. The community consists of five mid-rise (three- and four-story) buildings offering a mix of studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom units along with 13 townhomes with attached garages.
Completed in 2016, 1 Kennedy Flats was the first Class-A apartment development in downtown Danbury and today is 91 percent occupied. It was built in three phases by Greystar with its joint venture partner Eagle Realty. The community features a spacious and modern 3,000-square-foot, two-level resident lounge with fireplace, library, bar seating, pool table and multiple large screen TVs. For outdoor recreation, there is a pool with sundeck and bar, firepits, grilling area and kitchen area.

Residents enjoy easy access to the growing variety of shops and restaurants located in Downtown Danbury. The transforming downtown district is attracting a growing community of creative and tech companies to the area.

In addition to an employment hub, Downtown Danbury offers access to higher education with Naugatuck Valley Community College expanding into downtown and Western Connecticut State University located nearby.
