Ground was broken Wednesday for a four-story, 175-unit luxury apartment complex on a 14.4-acre tract on Millers Hill Road, very close to the Kennett Area YMCA.
“This is a form of smart growth and it preserves the area’s natural beauty,” said Brad Mowbray, senior vice president and managing director of High Real Estate Group LLC, developer of the project. “By growing up instead of out, it reduces the environmental impact.”
The apartment complex is within easy walking distance of Kennett Square’s many festivals, including Midnight on the Square, the Mushroom Festival, the Kennett Run, the art strolls, the Farmers Market, Third Thursday Dining on State Street and many more. There will also be a walking and biking trail that will connect the apartment complex to the 108-acre Anson B. Nixon Park.
