Reading Renaissance Reading, Pennsylvania

DSA was engaged to prepare concept and feasibility studies for a mixed-use project in an historic district of Reading, Pennsylvania. The firm was successful in obtaining all approvals and required variances.

The developer/owner obtained a $60-million financial commitment and had a commitment from a hotel chain to operate a 220-room hotel with attendant meeting rooms and ballroom. In addition, the project was slated to have five levels of retail, approximately 120,000 square feet of office space, and six levels to be assigned (luxury condominiums or a private club).

Unfortunately, the project did not proceed beyond the planning stage.
