More housing and more investment could be coming to Catasauqua.
Borough Council has approved the master plan for the redevelopment of the former Crane Iron Works property along the Lehigh River.
VM Development Group is proposing a $75 million redevelopment of the approximately 12.5-acre site. The first phase is expected to include 60 apartments, 14 townhomes and the redevelopment of the existing depot building into mixed-use space.
Projects like this are important for communities like Catasauqua. They bring unused properties back to life, add much-needed housing and can help generate additional economic activity for the surrounding neighborhood.
For those of us involved in property management and rental housing, it’s another development worth keeping an eye on as the Lehigh Valley continues to grow.
