A heavy excavator was clearing land on Monday to make space for a 24-unit apartment building just outside the city’s downtown limits, where a row of three apartment houses known as “the barracks” were once a blighting influence. “We have a good city with some new housing coming in, and there’s going to be more of it popping up,” said Joseph DaSilva, a landlord and developer who is building the new four-story apartment house on Town Hill Avenue in Danbury. The city’s professional Planning Department gave its approval Jan. 15 requiring, among other conditions, that “the on-site storm drainage system shall remain private, and regular maintenance is crucial for the system to continue to function as intended.” The start of construction for DaSilva Apartments comes one week after the city updated its downtown development rules to bring the city’s Main Street corridor back to life.
