Three new projects proposed in Bethlehem’s two downtowns could bring a combined 172 apartments to the city.
The Bethlehem Planning Commission on Thursday is set to review three site plans for new developments on East Third Street on Southside and on West Broad and East Broad streets north of the Lehigh River.
Developers plan to demolish a historic house at 143 W. Broad St. and construct Skyline West, an upscale 50-unit apartment building on an urban island of steep land tucked between Route 378 and the Colonial Industrial Quarter. The project — estimated in 2018 at $15 million — has been stalled by murky title issues that developer Jeff Parks says are finally sorted out.
