New Allentown Waterfront Development

Hoping to start to give this page a little more love!

The proposal below outlines a new ambitious plan for the Allentown Lehigh River waterfront. Manhattan Building Co "hopes to redevelop two dilapidated industrial buildings between North Front Street and Buck Boyle Park into a mixed-use apartment complex known as the Riverfront Lofts, and wants to work with the city to turn the 8-acre recreation area into 'one of the best waterfront parks in the entire country,' said John Palumbo, MBC’s vice president of real estate development." For a city of 100k people, the leadership is still hesitant of modern urbanism best practices so to hear a developer push for denser development with less parking is no small thing.
