A 16-unit apartment building is proposed for the intersection of East Boulevard and North Boulevard in Bethlehem.
The city Planning Commission will review the development on July 9. The project owner is Domenic Villani, according to documents on the city website.
The area is near commercial properties on Easton Avenue and Stefko Boulevard, but the neighborhood consists mostly of single-family homes.
The project is called East Boulevard Crossing. As proposed, it would be a three-story building at 1405 North Blvd., with 16 units. The plans refer once to 18 units but multiple other references say 16 units.
The apartments would be right at the corner of East and North boulevards, with 21 parking spaces behind the building, off East Boulevard, and three spaces off North Boulevard.
“There is street parking available” in addition to spaces the developer would provide, and a LANTA bus route goes down East Boulevard.
Villani bought the property in 2021 for $260,000, according to Northampton County records.
The Bethlehem Planning Commission will review the proposed East Boulevard Crossing development at a meeting at 5 p.m. on Thursday, July 9, at Town Hall. Meeting agendas are subject to change. Check the city website closer to the date.
