A California-based developer has purchased nine Hill properties for a combined $4.35 million — advancing plans to construct 194 new apartments on Congress and Davenport Avenues. The new owner of all nine properties is an affiliate of a company called Catalina Buffalo Holdings, a family-run real estate business with properties in California, South Dakota, and Connecticut. The sale took place roughly four months after the developer won site plan approval from the City Plan Commission to knock down all of the existing buildings on these nine properties and build up in their stead a new five-story, 194-unit apartment complex at the address of 354 Davenport Ave. Lockhart confirmed that his company will stick with the plans already approved by the City Plan Commission last October.
