Hartford, CT Aria Legacy Group (ALG) purchased the Ritz Grande Apartments for $3.7 million. This marks the company’s 16th multifamily investment in the city.

The 58-unit complex located at 29 Annawan St. is a mix of fully remodeled one to four-bedroom apartments. Amenities at the complex include on-site laundry, a playground, basketball courts and off-street parking. The property is located near neighborhood shopping outlets and Dillon Stadium.

“This acquisition excites us because Connecticut, and especially Hartford, has been one of our best success stories to date,” said Joe Novoseller, managing principal of ALG.
