City Council approved the plans for a senior housing development at Sixth and Chestnut streets in Reading. The project involves transforming the long-vacant former Berks Engineering complex into Cornerstone at Sixth and Chestnut, which will consist of 46 apartments for residents aged 62 and older. The Council acted in its capacity as the city’s Historical Architectural Review Board, and the project by HDC MidAtlantic and Landis Quality Living was approved on September 23, 2026.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The development requires a certificate of appropriateness because the property falls within the Prince Historic District. The project previously secured $1.7 million in annual low-income housing tax credits from the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency.
