BETHLEHEM, Pa. — A 76-apartment-and-retail development on the site of the former Southside Boys & Girls Club on Fourth Street is expected to be finished in the first half of this year, officials said Tuesday.
The seven-story project, called The Marshal, was approved for two signs on the building Tuesday.
City Council approved installation of the signs on the front facade of the apartment building — one wall sign and one with three-dimensional letters mounted on the entrance canopy at 117 E. Fourth St.
The project, called The Marshal, will consist of 76 apartments, including 11 studios, 16 one-bedroom, 27 two-bedroom and 22 three-bedroom options.Developer The Serfass Cos. of Allentown
The project developer The Serfass Cos. of Allentown made the request for the signs.
The project is expected to be completed in the first half of this year, according to Laura Collins, Bethlehem's director of community and economic development.
The Marshal will consist of 76 apartments, including 11 studios, 16 one-bedroom, 27 two-bedroom and 22 three-bedroom options.
The building’s first floor will consist of a lobby, amenities and retail space.
The central area of the development would stand up to about 80 feet high at its tallest point and offer living space alongside an adjacent 36-foot wing.
Another 42-foot wing on the opposite side of the site would offer 1,800 square feet of “third-party retail space,” according to developers.
The project previously received approval from Bethlehem’s Historic Conservation Commission.
