8. Dennis Anderson on Developing and Growing Lexington's Communities

from DevelopLex · host Middle Tech

A Pharmacist by trade, 30 years ago Dennis Anderson began building better communities by buying distressed homes and renovating them. By 1993, he’d remodeled more than 100 homes, improving many of Lexington’s existing communities. But as he listened to his clients’ needs, he dreamed of creating new communities where residents could enjoy affordable, high-quality housing with plenty of opportunities to get to know their neighbors. Today, Anderson Communities owns and managers over 2,800 homes in and around Central Kentucky and several Mixed Use Developments like Townley Center, The Villages at Great Acres, Bethel Harvest, and Amerson Orchard. On this episode, we sat down with Dennis to talk about the story of the west side of Lexington and his involvement, the hoops to jump through while building a more affordable city, and being a poster child for creating “mixed use” community living.
