A Six Story Building Could Reportedly Be Coming To 'Drug-Infested' Part Of Lansdale

A six story apartment building could be coming to downtown Lansdale, according to repots.

The building would be in the site of the former Third and Walnut Street bar, The Reporter said.

The developer, Harleysville dentist Ross Ziegler, said he hopes the building will be the greenest in the area,

“I’m picking an area in Lansdale that’s neglected, it’s drug infested, and I’m trying to turn things around. This project hits Walnut Street, the end of the block is Broad Street, and it hits Main Street. It’s got a good chance of being a catalyst to revitalize here,” he told The Reporter.

Officials have discussed renovating the area with various developments over the past two years, the report states.

The building would be set away from neighboring homes with a small park, and would also feature a green roof and underground stormwater cistern meant to recycle rain for irrigation, according to the report.

The plan will be discussed at upcoming meetings.
