Two towering urban infill, mixed-use projects are pitched for South New and West Third streets in Bethlehem, fueling a debate over how best to balance the Southside’s historic features with new development.
The West Third Street project is proposed at eight stories while the South New Street one stands at 10.
This comes as the city is in the midst of a South Bethlehem Historic Conservation District study aimed at reducing heights in central business district areas from 150 feet to 90 or 60 feet on certain blocks. A 150-foot building is about 14 stories. The Wilbur Trust building, commonly known as the Flatiron building, stands at about 75 feet tall while the Fred B. Rooney Building is about 175 feet.

Updated Mar 18, 2021;
A loan program that previously helped fledging businesses will now help Lehigh Valley hotels and restaurants continue to survive the COVID-19 pandemic.
Applications can be found here.
Lehigh County Executive Phillips Armstrong said the grants will help “one of the industries that need the help probably the most in this last year the hospitality industry.”
“They have been hurt, as many businesses have, but now we have a chance to reach out and help them,” he said.
Pennsylvania received $145 million for CHIRP, and divided the pot among the counties based on population. Lehigh County received $4.1 million and Northampton County received $3.4 million from the state.
