59-Unit Residential High Rise Approved In Doylestown Borough

DOYLESTOWN, PA —A 59-unit residential high rise along N. Main Street and Lacey Avenue was approved Monday by the Doylestown Borough Council.

The project, known as Arcadia at Doylestown, will see the demolition of the existing building to construct the multi-family high rise with underground parking.

The borough's Zoning Hearing Board in August granted several variances for the project, which then went on for zoning and planning review, followed by the Borough Council approval.

The approval comes with some conditions, including height clearance signage by the garage entrances as well as a $16,400 contribution to the shade tree fund. That figure is based on 164 required replacement trees. Three historic street lights must be added along the property frontage.

The high rise will be constructed by Arcadia Land Company. President Jason Duckworth has previously said the rents in the building will range from $2,000 to more than $3,000.

Construction is expected to begin towards the end of the year, according to Karyn Hyland, Doyestown Borough director of building and zoning.
