Davis Gardens (previously Warner Gardens) began as a barracks for defense workers who were employed by local factories during World War II. Warner Gardens was the first project of its kind completed under the 1940 National Defense Housing Act. The National Defense Housing Act addressed the shortage of housing for defense workers during the war.

Throughout the years Warner Gardens eventually transformed into Connecticut’s first black owned co-op. 75 tenants purchased the building for a total of $250,000. Over the years many of the 27 original buildings became completely uninhabitable. Many of these buildings were long past their usable lifespan. Omni Development’s vision was to create homes that were safe and affordable for the existing 35 co-op tenants that were relocated and a new population of residents that will occupy the other available units.

Davis Gardens is an award winning development which consists of 122 town-home style apartments for the Waterbury, CT area. Amenities include: Energy Star appliances, community room, on-site management, on-site laundry, and a solar picnic pavilion.
