A Southington developer began work Monday on an extensive renovation project expected to transform a Simsbury hotel into luxury apartments.
Freedom Property LLC, headed by founder and CEO Luke Florian, is in the process of building 25 apartment units at what had been the Iron Horse Inn, at 969 Hopmeadow St. Plans call for 21 one-bedroom apartments and four studio units, complete with modern finishings and appliances, as well as access to a redesigned grounds and patio.
