EASTON, Pa. – We are entering another chapter in the massive transformation of downtown Easton.<\/p>\n
A ribbon cutting marks the official opening of the city’s largest residential building.<\/p>\n
Introducing, The Confluence.<\/p>\n
“This is such a gorgeous gateway into the city,” said Meagan Walsh, City Center Residential Regional Community Manager.<\/p>\n
The nearly 300,000 square ft., six-story complex stretches between Third and Fourth Streets.<\/p>\n
“‘The Confluence’ is named for the confluence of the two rivers. We’re right here on the intersection where the Delaware and the Lehigh come together,” said Walsh.<\/p>\n
Hence, the interior “nautical” design. Exquisite blues, creams, and tans, allowing residents to “feel” like they’re at the beach.<\/p>\n
“The theming of this building has really come together beautifully,” said Walsh.<\/p>\n
The building houses 274 units, with a variety of studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments.<\/p>\n
“We have studios starting just under $1,500. We have one-bedroom apartments starting at about $1,875 and we have two- bedroom apartments starting at about $2,200,” said Walsh.<\/p>\n
Every unit has an open gourmet kitchen, vinyl-wood plank flooring and stackable washers and dryers.<\/p>\n
Walsh said 40% of apartments are already pre-leased and 100 people have already reserved their new homes, plus amenities.<\/p>\n

“We have a dog park, resident lounge, a co-working lounge, a rooftop deck, state of the art fitness center, and a courtyard with grilling area,” said Walsh.<\/p>\n
Walsh said the building has two parking options including a private on-site lot service and secured spaces in the Third Street parking deck next door.<\/p>\n
It took about a year and a half to wrap up the construction.<\/p>\n
Now comes building community connections.<\/p>\n
“Our residents are so active in the community. They love being a part of Easton. They love everything that Easton is doing,” said Walsh.<\/p>\n
Officials said that between now and the end of July, all the floors in the building will be open.<\/p>\n
