Manchester apartments to go smoke free

The 187-unit Link apartment located at Ninth and 10th streets and Semmes Avenue is trying something new. No smoking will be enforced on the property including the pool and garage. More from RTD;

“It fits with our overall strategy and theme for the Link brand, which is urban, healthy living with a big emphasis on recycling,” said David Klepser of Grubb Properties, the Charlotte, N.C.-based developer of the Link.

Klepser said the smoke-free concept has been well-received by prospective tenants. However, “a couple of folks who are smokers were told they need to look elsewhere.”

Residents at the Link will be fined for violating the smoke-free policy and likely will be asked to move out after two or three violations, Klepser said. A policy is still being formulated, he said.
