ALLENTOWN, Pa.\u00a0\u2013 The Allentown Neighborhood Improvement Zone Development Authority, or ANIZDA, forwarded an application for the redevelopment of the former Neuweiler & Son Brewery building during a project review committee meeting Wednesday afternoon at the America on Wheels Museum.<\/p>\n
The plan, offered by Manhattan Building Co., would redevelop the building located on the Lehigh River’s west shore at 401 N. Front St. The applicant proposes a mixed-use, seven-story building called “Neuweiler Lofts,” featuring 283 apartments with 40,000 square feet of commercial space.<\/p>\n
“This is a very special opportunity,” developer John Palumbo told the committee. “We understand the importance of this project for the city of Allentown.”<\/p>\n
Palumbo said the facility would feature one-, two- and three-bedroom units with roughly one-third division of each. A typical unit would be about 1,200 square feet.<\/p>\n
The plan includes various amenities. They include a cafe bar, a conference room, a gym, a lounge and a swimming pool.<\/p>\n
The developer indicated he has secured various tenants for the commercial spaces. These include a “co-working” space agreement with a law firm, an accounting firm and a digital media company.<\/p>\n
Architect Carlos Tovar indicated Wednesday afternoon the facility would have 225 parking spaces.<\/p>\n
“This will be a welcome addition to Allentown,” committee member Seymour Traub said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ALLENTOWN, Pa.\u00a0\u2013 The Allentown Neighborhood Improvement Zone Development Authority, or ANIZDA, forwarded an application for the redevelopment of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":137482,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[119,121,51110,120,51107,63281,62357,63280,63279,28,63282],"class_list":["post-137481","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-allentown","tag-allentown","tag-allentown-headlines","tag-allentown-neighborhood-improvement-zone-development-authority","tag-allentown-news","tag-anizda","tag-carlos-tovar","tag-john-palumbo","tag-manhattan-building-co","tag-neuweiler-lofts","tag-pennsylvania","tag-seymour-traub"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137481","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=137481"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137481\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/137482"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=137481"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=137481"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=137481"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
