Martin J. Kenny and Carlos Mouta are two of Hartford’s most prolific developers.
Kenny, of Lexington Partners, has helped develop more than 2,000 apartments in 18 significant projects over three decades and shows no signs of slowing.
Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin can tout a long list of economic development accomplishments as he stares down his final year in office, but he still has much to advance before he leaves City Hall.
When Carlos Mouta first arrived in Hartford at the age of 14, he wasn’t impressed.
“It was sad because I lived in a city that was probably bigger than Hartford,” he says. “We had a movie theater with a restaurant. When I came to the movie theater here, they had popcorn.”
