The Texas developer constructing a 232-unit apartment complex in Newington is proposing to put up the identical number of units on the site of the former Parkade retail complex in Manchester. Anthony Properties, which also holds approvals to build 255 apartments in Southington, wants to expand its New England portfolio by adding a third major Connecticut project. Its plan in Manchester would be a dramatic redevelopment of a long-vacant eyesore that was once home to a busy shopping center. The company has not yet submitted a zoning site plan, but the initial maps in its application for wetlands approval indicate it would build on a little under 20 acres on Broad Street. It wants to put up four 48-unit apartment buildings and four 10-unit buildings. Headquartered in Dallas, Anthony Properties is a privately owned real estate investment and development business that has been building apartment complexes for decades.
